Movie Studios Give Okay To Download Technology
The Associated Press is reporting that Hollywood studios have given their stamp of approval to technology that will add a digital lock to DVDs burned in a computer or at a retail kiosk.

Consumers still would be subject to restrictions placed by the movie service and studios. For instance, using the copy-protection technology in Microsoft Corp.

Sonic has been working for three years to develop the technology and get studios to agree to amend the CSS license to allow a "download to burn" option.
