Real Files Suit Against Hollywood

Some companies throw parties when they launch a new product. Some companies issue a press release and others hold press junkets. Not these guys, when they launch a product, they file a preemptive lawsuit against Hollywood to go with it. Now that's balls with a capital B.

A spokesman for Real confirmed that the suit was pre-emptive, but that the company expects that "the studios will be taking action later today." Indeed, Hollywood sources confirmed that the Motion Picture Association of America plans to file a lawsuit later Tuesday morning asking a federal court to stop RealNetworks from distributing the company's RealDVD software.
