Devin McRae Quoted in Los Angeles Times on Disney, Redbox Lawsuit

Devin McRae was recently quoted in Ryan Faughnder’s Los Angeles Times article “Redbox’s copyright fight with Disney over digital movie sales escalates long-running feud,” which discusses Disney’s claim that the movie rental company has been selling digital versions of its films without permission. According to Devin, the case is major in that it’s testing the boundaries for copyright law as technology in the entertainment industry develops.

“What’s at the heart of this case is another emerging technology,” said Devin. “The case does really come down to, what is the code? Should it be considered a copy of the work, or should it be considered a means to reproduce a copy?”
