Blu-Ray (Limited) Copying Legal Next Year

You thought that Blu-ray movies are extremely strict when it comes to making copies, but here comes news that an updated version of the Blu-ray standard will make limited copying possible from next year onwards: most of all discs released after Q1 2010 ought to enable one full-resolution copy, better known as a Managed Copy. These videos will be writable to Blu-ray or DVD discs, while others might opt to save it onto a Windows Media DRM-compatible file. You will need new players to support this feature though, so don’t go around whopping for joy just yet especially when you’ve dropped serious coin for a Blu-ray player in the past.
