RealNetworks has countered that DVD buyers are entitled to make backup copies of digital films or shows they purchase. Glickman added his belief that throughout the development of RealDVD the company "demonstrated that it was willing to break the law at the expense of those who create entertainment content." "Judge Patel's ruling affirms what we have known all along: RealNetworks took a license to build a DVD-player and instead made an illegal DVD-copier." "This is a victory for the creators and producers of motion pictures and television shows and for the rule of law in our digital economy," Motion Picture Association of America chairman Dan Glickman said. Patel is presiding over a legal battle between RealNetworks and film industry titans that argue selling technology to copy DVDs is being an accomplice to piracy of movies and television shows. "We'll determine our course of action and will have more to say at that time." "We are disappointed that a preliminary injunction has been placed on the sale of RealDVD," the Seattle-based digital media speciality firm said in a release.
