‘ve got some good news and some bad news. Let’s start with the good…. (tumble weed passes by)Ok, and now onto the bad: DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0 is the last version you’ll ever see.We hoped this day would never come, but it has, and I can promise you, nobody is more gutted about it than I am.
What started as a bit of fun, putting a GUI around some existing code, turned into something that I can only describe as “part of me” – yes, I know that’s sad
As I’ve recently been made aware (by a letter, hand delivered to my door, last Tuesday), due to some law that was changed back in October 2003, circumventing copy protection isn’t allowed.
Ok so it has taken a while (almost 2 years), but eventually “a certain company” has decided they don’t like what I’m doing (circumventing their protection) and have come at me like a pack of wolves. I’ve no choice but to cease everything to do with DVD Decrypter. I realise this is going to be one of those “that sucks – fight them!” kinda things, but at the end of the day, it’s my life and I’m not about to throw it all away (before it has even really started) attempting to fight a battle I can’t possibly win.
If 321 Studios can’t do it with millions, what chance do I have with £50?! As I’m sure most of you have already noticed, the site has been down for a few days. That surprised me as much as the next person (slight breakdown in communication), or I would have issued this statement on it directly.
So anyway, from this point forward, I’m no longer permitted to provide any sort of assistance with anything that helps people infringe the rights of “a certain company”. That means, no more emails, no more forum posts, no PMs, no nothing! END OF STORY.
