Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator (AACS-LA) has delayed the start date of a number of Blu-ray managed copy requirements from 4 December 2009 to 31 March 2010. Studios and content holders, whilst still complying with the managed copy agreement, will no longer be required to label and promote BDs as managed copy-ready until 31 March, when the AACS-LA expects to make its authentication servers operational.
An estimated 600 companies worldwide have signed up to the managed copy agreement enabling them to continue using the BD format after 4 December. The agreement requires content holders to include a software link on all discs, directing the Blu-ray player to an authentication server run by a studio, supplier or the AACS-LA.
