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."

  1. my responsabillity as a consumer by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    im just so sick of these greedy and already way too powerful corporations always get their way over the consumer.. im SO sick of it I will from now on see it as my responsabillity to pirate as much damned music and video as I can and help others do the same in order to try and level the playingfield a bit.

    I get that people want to protect their property, I have no problem with that.. its the way its being done that I have a problem with. I will no longer accept being forced to allow them to openly commit fraud against me and having to support them doing it as well unless I want to be labelled as a criminal!
