Rovi
Rovi Corporation is a company based in the United States whose patents, products, and technologies include copy protection, software licensing and "search recommendation" on devices such as set-top boxes, digital video recorders, TVs, and mobile and tablet devices. Companies such as consumer electronics (CE) manufacturers, cable operators, websites, and social networks use Rovi’s entertainment metadata—a collection of in-depth information on movies, television shows, celebrities, music, games, and books—in their efforts to organize and enable the consumption of digital entertainment.
The company holds over 5,000 issued or pending patents worldwide and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
Rovi was known as Macrovision Solutions Corporation (Macrovision) until it changed its name in July 2009. In that era of the company they were known more for digital protection but now focus on metadata licensing.
History as Macrovision
Rovi was established under the name Macrovision Corporation in 1983. The 1984 film The Cotton Club was the first video to be encoded with Macrovision technology when it was released in 1985. The technology was subsequently extended to DVD players and other consumer electronic recording and playback devices such as digital cable and satellite set-top boxes, digital video recorders, and portable media players. By the end of the 1980s, most major Hollywood studios were utilizing their services.
Rovi (magician)
Ivor Parry (known as Rovi) (29 November 1919 - 8 June 1996) was a Welsh magician. He was a Gold Star Medalist of the Inner Magic Circle, was known amongst magicians as The Welsh Wizard and was called 'a British legend' by Opus Magazine. Specialising in card magic, his original creations were published in 'Rovi Reveals' as part of the Supreme Magic Teach-in Series by Lewis Ganson. The Rovi Trophy is presented annually for the best card trick at the International Brotherhood of Magicians' British Ring Convention. Parry was born in Caernarfon.

She Cries
by: Rufiocome again she said
heading for the fungus road
one too many times
he's bitin you down to the bone
so you sail away
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
stay away
you can find me pain
that he left inside your home
fallin in the rain
your hole life has fall'n a part
so you say to me
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
alone she cries
use that inside
new look, new lies
who thought that he's that loser who once said
here's your kiss good bye
see this is real
she doesn't feel
lonely hearts
shattered dreams
there's nothing better in this place
nothing but memories in your mind
so you say to me
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
alone she cries
lose that hate inside
new love, new lies
who thought that he'd he's that ol' loser who once said
here's your kiss good bye
alone she cries
lose that hate inside
new love, new lies
who thought that he's that loser who once said
