The problem is that there are some legal problems with providing a digital output – as it’s then possible to make perfect digital copies. Though, it’s not really a problem if you read the article. There are a number of reasons why it would be very difficult for anyone to make a good digital copy using one of these machines, but that hasn’t stopped the Hollywood lawyers from jumping all over this company.
