321 Studios Complies with Order to Revise DVD-Copying Software

The maker of DVD-copying software declared in violation of copyright law met a judge's deadline in rolling out retooled versions, then pledged an ambitious bid for consumers to shower Hollywood and lawmakers with outpourings in its defense. The St. Louis-area company, 321 Studios Inc., hustled out a version of software that removes a built-in tool for descrambling movies, complying with an injunction issued Feb. 20 in California by a federal judge who found certain 321 products in violation of Hollywood studios' copyrights.
