Remember when RealNetworks said it wasn't giving up on RealDVD (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/09/realnetworks-not-giving-up-on-realdvd-plans-to-appeal-court-inj/), that it would fight the good fight and appeal the August ruling (http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/court-injunction-puts-sales-of-realdvd-on-ice-hopes-and-dreams/) finding its DVD copying application wasn't quite legal. Well, a lot of things can change in five months and now it seems Real is caving in to the inevitable crush of the movie industry, setting the lawsuit filed by the MPAA (http://www.engadget.com/tag/mpaa) for $4.5 million and instantly turning existing copies of RealDVD into collectors items. (Hope you kept those boxes in mint condition!) What's next for Real remains to be seen, as the company just spun off Rhapsody (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/realnetworks-to-spin-off-rhapsody-give-up-control/) to be its own thing, but surely whatever it comes up with will not involve the copying of copyrighted things onto other things.RealNetworks to stop selling RealDVD, your copyrights are safe -- for now (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/realnetworks-to-stop-selling-realdvd-your-copyrights-are-safe/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:59:00 EST.
