DVD Decrypter Author Served With Take-Down Order
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."
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!
If you surrender, thats lamo. You are in the UK, we don't fail over to some Jap companies orders, especially when they are backed up with a bullshit US law.
Seed the source, develop in your spare time, anything but let those fuckers get away it.
If you give up now you'll regret it forver. Play the dirty game back, and have fun! Just stay underground.
Majorax.
Does anyone have a plausible theory why so many of what should be single quotes are double quotes? I can't really imagine someone that sloppy with a keyboard could code a good program easily. Coding with a malfunctioning shift key doesn't seem to work well.
Your right. It was Lighning UK's grand ego that led to this downfall.
It was always free, but no source code so it could remain free forever.
The idiot.
