Universal City Studios Productions LLLP, et al., v. Realnetworks, Inc., et al.
Defendants Realnetworks, Inc. And Realnetworks Home Entertainment, Inc.'s Opposition to Plaintiffs' Ex Parte Application For A TRO
SUMMARY: In September 2008, the motion picture industry sued RealNetworks over its RealDVD software, which was designed to allow consumers to copy their DVDs to their computers for later playback. Real had obtained a license from DVD-CCA for its software, apparently relying on earlier court rulings in the DVD-CCA v. Kaleidescape case, where a California state court ruled that Kaleidescape's licensed digital DVD jukebox was within the scope of the DVD-CCA license.
On September 30, 2008, the day Real was to formally launch its RealDVD product, the motion picture studios filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles and asked for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to block the launch. The same day, RealNetworks filed a lawsuit in San Francisco asking the court to declare that distribution of RealDVD is lawful. The court in Los Angeles subsequently transfered the case to San Francisco, where it is pending before Judge Patel, who ordered a temporary halt to distribution of RealDVD until a further hearing in late November 2008.
This is Realnetworks Opposition to Universal's ex parte application for a tro.
