DVD Shrink scams

You know, the kind of application the entertainment and software cartels don’t want you to have?

It’s an excellent piece of software, for one thing, and for another, it’s free, and the movie, music and software monopolies have pumped a lot of time and money into trying to keep it out of your hands.

But it’s not working and as CDFreaks explains, “DVDShrink is reporting that there are quite a lot of rogue companies out there selling DVDShrink or charging to download it, often disguised under other names such as ‘DVDShrink 2007′ to make it stand out from the official free version.

“The author warns consumers to watch out for the fake versions, particularly those shown in Google ads, as one should not be charged to download or use the software.” [Our emphasis]
