DVD Decrypter Author Served With Take-Down Order

Posted by timothy on from the hold-your-breath-if-you're-surprised dept.

the-dark-kangaroo writes "The DVD Decrypter author has announced that he has been served with an order to cease his development of DVD Decrypter. The developer has been forced to hand over all source code and the domain that he was using. It is thought that it could be Sony who have served this notice, as it is rumoured that he broke their new copyright protection within 72 hours of its release."

    Your not going to mod the content of his post based on his sig?

    No one cares if you're offended. Come back to the real world, idiot.

    You're right. It's not all the corporations, just the publicly traded ones that are legally obligated to take any legal action that will maximise shareholder profit without regards for how their actions affect others.
    OK, shithead, please show me _one_ USA law that says a corporation _must_ "take any legal action that will maximise shareholder profit". You are talking out of your @ss. There are _no_ laws that force a publicly traded corp to do what you suggest. So get off your fairy-tale horse and stop beeing an @ss-hole.
    Made my compromises just like you
    Maybe you sold your self to some sh!tty corp, but I certainlly didn't, I didn't have to make _any_ compromises to work for the fortune 500 I work for. The company I work for is actually the most human focused company I have ever known. I have worked for 3 fortune 500's, and this one is the real deal. I live and work in central Florida. Last summer after we were hit _very_ hard by all the hurricanes, the company I worked for gave the most money of any private company to the victims, we are talking multi-millions. Actually, the company I work for gave more to victims than the government gave.

    You are not only an @ss-hole, you are a dumb @ss-hole! Pretty sad IMO. Please show me the USA law(s) that say a publicly traded company _must_ "take any legal action that will maximise shareholder profit without regards for how their actions affect others".
    There are NO SUCH LAWS you idiot. Go hug a tree and get an education!

    What a spineless pussy. I like the line about how others should now stop using the program out of respect for some companies rights. Again, what a *pussy*.
