What originally appeared to be a move by Macrovision to build a rights protection empire surprisingly appears to have lost an essential element: its PC software.

Today, private equity firm Thoma Cressey Bravo has announced that it will be purchasing Macrovision's Software Business unit for approximately $200 million cash. The group owns more than 10 software companies, which specialize in enterprise management and planning solutions, supply chain software and business data systems.
