send them many many emails complaining and get the word out to people not to buy crap like this obvious rip off

[sluguy3]

Yeah, pretty sad to see someone try to get $39 for a program that has nothing different aside from a name change.

it's actually $89 for the collection that includes DVDShrink version

the $39 version doesn't and the $59 just includes Nero

so basically they are charging $30 for the addition of DVDCopyDecrypter (DVDShrink)!

cheeky b*&%$ds

Amazing and I bet they find enough fools to make a small fortune. Would be funny if the site was hacked with links to the free programs.

programs like this shoudl be named and shamed in a sticky

cos some unsuspecting newbies gonna stumble across it and buy it, but maybe if it's here then they may not

[CaseyComb]

Those evil b@stards making money on copies of dvd copy programs, who do they think they are!!! All sarcasm aside aren't we heading into a somewhat morally grey area here. Heh... just some food for thought.

You could put together a post with such tools(only tools that use free tools then) and I can then make it sticky.

Not only did they rip off DVDShrink, they also ripped off Ulead's box too.

Just take a look at the screen shot of the boxes here (see JodRead's post): http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51591&perpage=20&pagenumber=2

"DVDCopyCopyDecrypter" SHOULD DIE OF GONORRHEA AND ROT IN HELL!!!!!!! COOKIE?

[Karate Media]

******* EVIL!!!!!!!!

I so ******* want to just reach through my monitor and throttle those stupid *************' throats!!!

It's too bad that the author of DVDShrink has no legal recourse...with evil fuckers like this, the best you can hope for is a lightning bolt to strike them...

ARRRGH!!!!!!



Sorry...I just had to lose it...



EDIT: Hey! my evil emoticon don't look like da devil like he do in the list! This blue one surely isn't as menacing! SHOW MY MENACE!!!!

[F-ING HOSTILE]

Yeah, WTF? When I choose the "evil" smilie (which happens quite frequently), I want the God Damned "evil" smilie face! Is that too much to ask? See, you can smile like a looney, but what if you're PISSED?

[MackemX]

I just done a search for DVD Squeeze and there are loads of site's offering this for sale!

Google results

DVD forums all over the world should put up a sticky in their forums and it will soon kill of the con artists

you can guarantee in a few days another thread will appear when this one disappears

Yeah this is really sad. Does anyone know of any productive way to expose these people short of just warning others not to purchase the software? I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau but it says it takes 3 months to process and I don't even think this is the type of stuff they handle. I tried contacting some of the sites that link to their homepage, but none of them had any contact info.

Is this guy a licenced distributor of Nero? If so does Ahead know how questionable his other products are? Maybe we need to put pressure on someone who will actually listen, like Ahead.

the Nero they supply is the free trial as I said HERE before it was closed due to bickering (dunno of it's just a link they supply tho)

as for the packaging look HERE cos even the pic of the box is a modded version

Legit Ulead package : here

Fake DVD Squeeze package : here

[txpharoah]

This is a civil matter. It probably goes against the license of several companies/individuals in the programs, including Nero, DVD Decrypter, and DVDshrink.

Those authors must complain to the company, file Cease & Desist Letters, and spend the ~$50 in small claims court for the max of ~$5K for infringement and theft of IP and going against the license.

The company has their site registered in the USA:
A Best Imports
Pablo Valdez
645 Springfield Ct.
Roselle, IL 60172
US
Phone: 775-628-5365
Email: genericdork@hotmail.com

It can also have a hold put on the site by way of injunction:
Disable the DNS:
AUTH1.NS.NYI.NET 64.90.175.14
AUTH2.NS.NYI.NET 64.90.175.18

==

I'd start with Ahead Software.
Get the authors of DVD Decrypter and DVDshrink involved. Most software law allows use of GNU, but not outright copy and resell, which is what this is.

This guy is asking for trouble, and should have has ass put in a sling by those that spent time to provide these things for free.

This is just my quick opinion without knowing more.

For those of you that have seen some of my other legal posts, this is the kind of shit I deal with at work. It's fun to bust apart a-holes like this.

Copying the Ulead box? Contact Ulead!

And while I won't endorse this, I will say that I have seen hackers in the past attack sites like this and either destroy them, overtake them, or outright DoS attack them. I've had hackers beat me to the punch at work. We all laughed around the office.

Man -- that MUST be illegal. If Ulead won't sue, certainly Microsoft will -- you can still make out the "Made for Windows XP" logo in the upper left corner.

Like I said, that's just ******* evil...
