This seems to have hit several sore teeth. Is this topic a record breaker in number of views/hr?

Those are very sad news
. DVD Decrypter has become a very useful tool not only to rip movies, but also for burning ISOs and several other tasks very efficiently

Too bad it can't find its way to a SF project... -
This is both sad and good news.
Sad news because I feel like I just lost a good friend. Good news because I can now become easily acquainted with the 5-10 new replacements for DVD Decrypter that will begin appearing soon.
Some people wonder why entertainment has such a high price tag. This is why. Someone has to support the hundreds of frivilous cease and desist orders. This nonsense caused by greed spurs innovation and quells complacency in the market place for fair use tools. -
Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later damn it... I myself archived v.3.5.4 (along with shrink) to use until something better comes along. One thing about it, its still a useful tool until I run across something I can't rip.
Thanks for all the hard work and good times L-UK!!! You're still the best...

I'm really saddened about this. This means the end of DVD ripping.
This is exactly like when they shut down Napster and P2P completely disappeared. -
Its sure sad to loose a good tool. But I guess the road ahead should not bleak. I am pretty much sure somebody is already reverse engineering DD and may come out with something similar if not better.
As for now we just have to wait & watch for the BAD COMPANYWhen I was born I was so shocked that I could'nt speak for 18 months. -
Does it even matter which company did this? Moreover, it was likely a group of companies, but even then, does it really matter? If it wasn't this group, I'm sure another would have took a portion of their profit shares from their stockholders in this latest attempt to stop one program which assists consumers in their fair use rights.
Hmm . . maybe frivilous tactics such as this is new way the entertainment industry has figured out how to hide profits from their shareholders and the tax man? -

I'm really amazed that this action did not occur occur much sooner. I've always been suprised that programs like DVDDecrypter were so readily available and made no bones about what their purpose really was. IMHO everyone should be grateful that there was a time when this stuff was "tolerated" by the fat cat capitalist. So for now, just be certain that no one knows that you continue to us it...for it is now an ILLEGAL APPLICATION to even possess.

This is crappy news, truly. I just hope Lightining UK doesn't get in too much hot water than he already seems to be.

The following would be an interesting legal case.
"The Company" sues someone, who uses DVDDecrypter to backup their own DVDs. What would the result be it went all the way to the Supreme Court?Some days it seems as if all I'm doing is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic -

Considering the "other" product mentioned in the last paragraph and what they have done, it might give a hint as to "the company's" identity. Earlier suspicions may be correct. -
The link I had is dead and I don't remember the name of the product but it was available from anywhere like Best Buy. It couldn't break the protection but if you purchased it there was a update available that you could download with the stern warning "omly if you live outside of the US"....
I'm sure everyone followed that rule.

Maybe I am slow here but anyone know who "the company" is? The domain says it belongs to Frontline Media LLC now
The real answer lies in completely understanding the question! -
