Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal, Disney and Warner Bros. These are the studios that filed a law suit against Realnetworks.

Software which claimed to be a legal way of copying DVDs has been withdrawn following legal action.

RealNetworks - the firm behind the software - has responded to restraining order issued by a US court stopped selling the RealDVD software.

Six major movie studios jointly sued the company on 30 September - the day the software was launched.

San Francisco District Court Judge Marilyn Hall Patel is due to review the case on 7 October.

RealNetworks in 2004 was accused by Apple for its "hacker tactics" when they said they found some way for non-Apple endorsed music tracks to be played in iPod.
