Blu-ray Disc Association launch 'BD Light' license for independent content producers
In recognition of the many smaller independent labels producing content, who don't have the budget or sales volumes of the major Hollywood studios, the Blu-ray Disc Association has introduced the 'BD Light' license agreement, which reduces the fee from $3000 to $500.
“The independent sector is key to the long-term success of the Blu-ray Disc format and we have been working hard within the association to create a licensing channel that works for these companies,” commented David Walstra, Vice Chairman, BDA European Promotion Committee. “With ‘BD Light’, these independent content providers can release titles on Blu-ray Disc using all the logos that the format provides. This is key to the format’s continued growth and prosperity since it will enable a diversity of special interest programmes, movies and other content to be published on Blu-ray. We believe this is a key development in BD’s introduction process,” continued Walstra.
