Fox Embraces BD+

BD+ Technologies, LLC has officially announced today that they have completed their licensing program for the Blu-ray copy protection layer known as BD+. A quick visit to the BD+ website reveals that Fox has already signed on as a content provider, hopefully signaling that new content from the studio is on its way. Mike Dunn, President Worldwide, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment commented, "Fox has vigorously fought against piracy for years and the adoption of BD+ as part of the Blu-ray Disc specification, and an enhancement over and above AACS, was a key factor in our decision to publish on the format. This added layer of content protection gives Blu-ray yet another distinct competitive advantage."
