DVDFab Has Ignored Court's Shut Down Order, AACS Says (torrentfreak.com)
An anonymous reader cites a report on TorrentFreak: DVDFab has failed to cease its operations in the U.S. and should be sanctioned, AACS says. The decryption licensing outfit founded by Warner Bros, Disney, Microsoft, Intel and others, informs a New York federal court that DVDFab's parent company has blatantly ignored a permanent injunction that was issued last year. In 2014 decryption licensing outfit AACS LA initiated a renewed crackdown on DRM-circumvention software. The company, founded by a group of movie studios and technology partners, sued the makers of popular DVD and Blu-Ray ripping software DVDFab in a New York federal court. After a brief legal battle the court ruled in favor of AACS, issuing an injunction based on the argument that the "DVDFab Group" violates the DMCA's anti-circumvention clause, since their software can bypass DVD and Bluray encryption. Among other things, the injunction barred DVDFab from distributing its software in public and allowed AACS to seize a wide range of domain names. The crippling injunction seemed to work, but not for long. In a new court filing, AACS notes that the software vendor briefly blocked U.S. purchases but went back to business as usual soon after (PDF).
I have an authistic kid when mental problems. He doesn't give a shit about ads, their stupid dvd intro for 10 minutes. he just wants to play his dvd from disney. Just press play and BAM, his cartoon plays, nothing else, no ads, no intro nothing just the movie. So yeah, I copy all my dvd content, remove that fucking shitty drm my SON doesn't need and make a dvd or copy it to a usb and put it on his tablet so he doesn't freak out with ads, scream at me and probably has a wish to insert his tablet in my asshole by any means
The Slashdot summary and the article both fail to mention what country DVDFab is in, but the linked domain implies they are in China. So what was the point of the American court telling them what to do? If the AACS want to shut them down they should be applying Chinese laws in a Chinese court, anything else is just theatrics.
