New Low Carbon Footprint Flex Disc comes Under Fire

I just read and interesting article.

For the past few years there has been a more earth friendly DVD that has been produced by CD Digital Card in Rancho Cucamonga.  We have done business with CD Digital Card in the past and I have found them to be a very good company.

Their innovation is called a flex DVD and has only half the plastic that a normal Digital Versatile Disc has.  This innovation is a real step towards helping reduce the carbon foot print of the Video and Film industry.

It looks like this innovation is potentially at risk according to an article I just read in the Earth Times which states that  CD Digital Card “is taking the DVD Format/Logo Licensing Corporation (DVD FLLC) head on”.

From what I surmise, the FLLC is trying to stop the manufacture of the Flex Disc domestically.  I would like to have more information regarding this case, as it looks to me to be an issue of legal protectionism vs. an innovation that can do some real good for our environment.

I will try to stay abreast of this situation and keep posting my finding.
