Lawsuits Force 321 Studios Out Of Business

Posted by timothy on from the anywhere-it-wants-to dept.

elegie writes "321 Studios has gone out of business. Earlier, they came under fire for producing DVD disc-copying software. Specifically, it was argued by movie studios that the DVD-X Copy software and the DVD Copy Plus software violated the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) anticircumvention rules. 321 Studios argued that copying a DVD disc for personal use counted as "fair use" in terms of copyright law. The EFF has said that the closing was not surprising because of all the legal injunctions against 321 Studios."

  1. IN NEED OF A DVD RIPPER/BURNER for Windows by PortHaven · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I am in need of a DVD-Ripper/burner for Windows. (Please no trashing windows comments...the applications I use aren't available elsewhere for other platforms).

    But I am in a position where I need to perform a task and am unable to do so because there seems to be no software on the market.

    Can anyone point me to a tool?
