Disney will use technology from Dolby unit Cinea, which provides copy protection and piracy tracking for DVDs. "This process offers maximum protection for our films, while allowing key members of the Academy, BAFTA [British Academy of Film and Television Arts], and a few other select organizations the opportunity to view these contenders in the comfort of their own homes," Walt Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook said in a statement early Monday. Last year, authorities charged a Chicago-area man on allegations he copied movies from videocassettes he received from a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who had received screener tapes. Cinea's method includes the S-View DVD player and encryption technology. The DVD player also plays standard DVDs. In collaboration with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Bafta, its British counterpart, Cinea has distributed the DVD players to nearly 12,000 of the collective voting members, according to the press release. Cinea encrypts each disc with a code unique to each member, and the disc delivered to each member will play only on the Cinea DVD player registered by that member. A Cinea encrypted disc cannot be viewed on any other DVD player or computer. Disney said it is exploring the possibility of incorporating Cinea's security technology into its entire post-production process. -- ----------------- R. A.
