	Ripguard (possibly also known as CopyBlock but could also be the name of a separate DRM) was a DRM created by Macrovision/Rovi specifically for DVD-Video discs and ~~acting~~ as a separate layer on top of the built in CSS encryption. Functionally, it's very similar to that of a ringed DRM though no actual rings are visible on disc and it can be identified either using BOS or a MVSNRGxx string in PVD.
