Will pirated DVDs become extinct because of DVD chips?

" This technology has the ability to protect intellectual property for film studios, recorders, games and software worldwide ," said Ritek Corporation chief executive Gordon Yeh.

Ritek is currently the largest DVD maker in the world and the work of making new discs will be undertaken by their subsidiary U-Tech. IPICO partner will be responsible for providing RFID chip embedded inside the disk. Currently, the first batch of embedded embedded DVD discs is being manufactured at U-Tech's main factory in Taiwan.

IPICO says the reader can receive RFID labels on the disk from a distance of 6 meters and with label speed per minute. This RFID chip works without batteries but from radio power sources emitted by the RFID reader.

Gordon Westwater, IPICO chairman, affirmed, " This is the first step in building a new international standard for optical communication copyright protection ."
