I read the whole article and I’m still not sure what public display (non-braodcast) license has to do with managed copy. That seems to be a completely separate nice to have entirely. This is the quote I found interesting:
[quote]Scenic Labs says it won’t charge for managed copying, but company founder Jason Rosenfeld says it is possible that AACS or its agents will charge a transaction fee to utilize the managed copy feature.
“We don’t know how managed copy will ultimately be priced, or if there will be transaction fees, but it will be revenue-neutral from our perspective,” Rosenfeld says. “We do not aim to place undue restrictions on how paying customers can use our content.”[/quote]
It’ll be interesting to see if AACS, independently of the studios individual decisions, tries to generate revenue off of managed copy. ie…$1 charge for validating/unlocking…
