A California appeals court has granted Kaleidescape a temporary stay on an injunction preventing sales of its DVD servers that was scheduled to go into effect April 8, a spokesman for Kaleidescape told us Friday. The temporary stay gives the court time to review the case while it decides whether to grant a stay on the injunction for the duration of the appeal process, the spokesman said. The injunction was issued as part of the ruling against Kaleidescape earlier this month in the breach of contract suit brought by DVD CCA on behalf of movie studios over the Content Scrambling System that’s part of the DVD license. Kaleidescape is “pleased” with the temporary stay and sees it as “a step in the right direction,” the spokesman told us. “But what we'd like to have is a stay for the entire duration of the appeal.” DVD CCA didn’t respond by our deadline to our request for comment.
