First look: the stream-rippin' RealPlayer 11 beta
Earlier today, Real made the beta of RealPlayer 11 available to the public (which appears to be Windows only for the time being). The new RealPlayer's biggest advertised feature is the ability to save streaming video to the desktop.

RealNetworks says that it will respect streams that make use of Digital Rights Management (DRM) schemes and not allow these to be downloaded.

The company has repeatedly claimed that it keeps no logs and therefore cannot produce any, but a judge has ruled that the necessary information is already contained in server RAM and so does not require Torrentspy to create any new information; it just needs to record the information already present in the system.
