Optical Disc Solutions S.R.L., Romania Accredited under CDSA Copyright And Licensing Verification Program

PRINCETON, NJ, USA – 12 November 2009 – Optical Disc Solutions S.R.L. (ODS), Romania is the first certified plant in Romania under the CDSA Copyright And Licensing Verification Program. The accreditation resulted from a comprehensive examination and review of ODS’s Anti-Piracy Procedures by an independent Auditor. Zoltan Tussai, General Manager of ODS said, “we are very pleased to become a CDSA accredited company as we understand the importance of protecting intellectual property. This achievement represents our commitment to the prevention of entertainment media piracy and our support for content owners in this regard.”

CDSA’s Anti-Piracy and Compliance Programs Director in Europe, Peter Wallace managed the accreditation process and commented, “ODS has shown a determination to fight piracy and we have been involved with them and the Romanian Government in ensuring the protection of intellectual rights, we welcome them into the Program.”

Optical Disc Solutions S.R.L. was formerly part of the ODS Group from May 2006 until May 2008 when the company was acquired by local management. It now offers CD and DVD replication and in the case of the latter it is the only provider in Romania. They are a Philips licensed company and ISO 9001 and 14001 certified.

The CDSA Content Protection and Security standards and procedures are part of the association’s global array of anti-piracy and compliance programs providing content protection from copyright infringement, security violations, and distribution losses of physical and electronic media. Under these programs, which are supported by owners of intellectual property including music, films, games and business software supply chain partners, comply with a stringent set of systems and procedures, cumulating in comprehensive, independent audits. CDSA, formerly the International Recording Media Association (IRMA), initiated its anti-piracy programs in 1999 in response to requests from content owners and media manufacturers. Its expansion of the content delivery protection programs reflects the dramatic changes within the industry to satisfy customers’ demands and entertainment habits.

The CDSA programs contain the industry’s first set of international anti-piracy standards and are major indicators for record labels, movie studios, computer software and game publishers to identify supply chain partners which have implemented these programs to prevent losses through piracy and security violations. They were developed with input and support from the CDSA Anti-Piracy Coalition, comprised of media manufacturers, content delivery suppliers, content owners and their organizations including the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Business Software Alliance (BSA), the Software Information Industry Association (SIIA), the Digital Software Association (DSA), the International Video Federation (IVF), the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), Microsoft and the Bureau International des Sociétés Gérant les Droits d’Enregistrement et de Reproduction Mécanique (BIEM).
