"DVD Copy Control Association" Definition:
The DVD Copy Control Association (DVD CCA) is an organization primarily responsible for the copy prevention of DVDs. The Content Scramble System (CSS) was devised for this purpose to make copyright infringement difficult, as well as some legitimate uses of the media. The association is also responsible for the much criticized regional playback control (RPC), the region encoding scheme which gives movie studios geographic control over DVD release dates to maximize their profits.
As of 2001, members included film distributors such as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros.
They filed the much publicized case versus Jon Johansen whom they alleged wrote DeCSS. The case was dropped in January of 2004. CSS decrypting software (such as DVD Decrypter, AnyDVD, and DVD Shrink) allows a region-specific DVD to be copied as an all-region DVD. It also removes Macrovision, Content Scrambling System (CSS), region codes, and user operation prohibitions.
