RealNetworks proceeds with DVD-copying device development plans

RealNetworks is reportedly hiring engineers to work on Facet - a DVD player that copies and stores film discs despite claims by Hollywood that allege that the device violates copyright.

Real has posted a job ad on Craigslist asking for qualified Linux engineers to apply.

"The Facet team is creating a rich set of consumer media experiences that will make the consumer electronics industry stand up and take notice," Real said in the job posting, first reported by Video Business Online.
