:00:27. > :00:39.
:00:39. > :00:45.has... Yes, it does. This week, we are looking at a smartphone where
:00:45. > :00:50.your music, videos and all your chicken is controlled. We go to a

:01:08. > :01:13.travelling overseas. For years this programme has been creeping ever
:01:13. > :01:18.closer to the idea of the perfect smartphone. A place to live where
:01:18. > :01:24.every appliance, every item is connected and controllable. This
:01:24. > :01:34.week we are at a show home in central London. One company has put
:01:34. > :01:38.
:01:38. > :01:43.everything together to make a smart home. Off we go. This is not your
:01:43. > :01:47.run-of-the-mill kit. This is the top of the range stuff. The place does
:01:47. > :01:52.not even look that smart. That is because everything is hidden away,
:01:52. > :01:56.including your controller which is of course, a tablet. The house come
:01:56. > :02:06.with its own app which meant to be touch of a couple of buttons I can
:02:06. > :02:33.
:02:34. > :02:38.You can control anything from anywhere by touching the room on the

:02:55. > :03:01.yourself eight state-of-the-art cinema room. The entertainment
:03:01. > :03:06.system in this house is run by something called Kaleidoscope. You
:03:06. > :03:08.put your CDs and blue rays into the system and it digitalise them in
:03:08. > :03:14.full quality and then distribute those movies around your house. You
:03:14. > :03:24.can watch them on TV is all on your tablets, or if you must, on this
:03:24. > :03:30.enormous cinema screen. The interface that you get is the spoke
:03:30. > :03:36.to. As you navigate around you can see what I've got what is
:03:36. > :03:43.interesting is as you call up a film you get extra information if you
:03:43. > :03:46.just pop it into a DVD player. That is because the Kaleidoscope is
:03:46. > :03:52.adding new information to it as it comes onto the market. But there is
:03:52. > :03:58.a quirk to the system that is the son of the times. Although
:03:58. > :04:02.Kaleidoscope does rip the Blu-ray to its hard drive it will not play the
:04:02. > :04:12.content unless the disk is still in the machine. This is to make sure
:04:12. > :04:19.that you do not or someone else's and then -- borrow someone else's
:04:19. > :04:26.and then just use the content. It does raise a few questions. This man
:04:26. > :04:29.is a digital media lawyer. We are moving into an age when we are
:04:29. > :04:36.considering taking digital copies of media, or even buying a physical
:04:36. > :04:42.copy of our media, we just stream. It means that rights we are paying
:04:42. > :04:47.for our changing. Is that right? Yes. When you have a physical copy,
:04:47. > :04:52.you are allowed to do things that you do not have things you cannot
:04:52. > :04:58.own a digital copy. When you are downloading a digital product you
:04:58. > :05:03.are downloading it with a whole host of restrictions. You are not allowed
:05:03. > :05:08.to lend it on, sell it, they have really stripped what you can do with
:05:08. > :05:18.a digital version. Why a movie companies doing this? Partly because
:05:18. > :05:18.
:05:18. > :05:22.they are concerned with films... If they enable people to have digital
:05:22. > :05:28.versions that they can spread it is very easy to rip that and make it
:05:28. > :05:36.available to thousands of people. But of course it is very easy to
:05:36. > :05:38.do. For the average person it is more difficult. That is one of the
:05:38. > :05:46.challenges that digital rights management is facing. It might not
:05:46. > :05:50.do what it set out to do which stops piracy, what it does do is make it
:05:50. > :05:56.more difficult to have a seamless service. What consumers want to be
:05:56. > :06:00.able to do is take their digital content and use it in the way they
:06:00. > :06:07.would with the physical content. They want to share it as much as
:06:07. > :06:14.possible, just as they would with a DVD or a Blu-ray disc. The movie
:06:14. > :06:20.industry are trying to solve this by let you download a digital copy of
:06:20. > :06:23.your movie. That's right. It is about engaging with your consumer
:06:23. > :06:27.and still having their digital rights management there. Trying to
:06:27. > :06:31.give the consumer what they want which is to be able to watch a
:06:31. > :06:38.digital version on devices around the house. The way it works in which
:06:38. > :06:43.it works is you type in the code, and then you had a digital version.
:06:43. > :06:50.It is a good step in the right direction before -- for digital
:06:50. > :06:56.rights distribution. If you have a disk, is it legal to rip the content
:06:56. > :06:59.to your own personal use. Technically, no. You would be in
:07:00. > :07:05.breach of copyright. The government have looked at this and said that
:07:05. > :07:10.the law is changing and have proposed new legislation that they
:07:10. > :07:15.will hope will come into legislation soon. You can take a digital copy of
:07:15. > :07:19.that physical media as long as it is for your own personal use. That is
:07:19. > :07:23.fine. Then you can put it onto a range of different devices. But that
:07:23. > :07:32.will only apply to digital content that does not have digital copy
:07:32. > :07:39.protection to it. You are talking about it making CDs legal to rip.
:07:39. > :07:44.The law is coming up to date with what people have done anyway?
:07:44. > :07:50.difficulty is that technology advances far quicker than the law.
:07:50. > :07:55.The law is trying to catch up to technology. It is open to businesses
:07:55. > :08:03.to look at the technology and see if there is a way to get around the
:08:03. > :08:09.DRM,, and then you will have to rely on the law. These are other things
:08:09. > :08:16.that you can do without consent. If the person gives you the rights to
:08:16. > :08:26.that consent, or gives you the ability to look or show your content
:08:26. > :08:28.
:08:28. > :08:37.to other people, then that is legal. Most of the homes in the UK will
