I get a real kick out of these companies who bluster and blow like a typhoon with nothing more than a pair of store-bought balls. Blu-Ray and/or HD-DVD will be taking over soon enough, and regular DVD will eventually become a niche (or niche-like) format. For the most part, I doubt that anyone will really need all that much more in the way of a ripper for the remaining time the (standard) DVD format will be with us. I still use DVD Decrypter to marvellous effect. The fact that they have specifically singled out AfterDawn in this case, tells me volumes about how very important A/D has become in the online world. That they bought-off Lightning UK with a big chunk of change? Or that they threatened to break his neck if he didn't immediately comply with their directive? When it is stated that the company "recently acquired the intellectual property rights" to the program, what does that mean? (I think most of us have read Lightning's words on the subject when he explained to us why DVDD could no longer be supported by him). Similar hard talk was shoved up Lighting UK's a# when MacroSuction ordered him to take down DVD Decrypter. A heavy-handed ultimatum from a company which - if it didn't have the ma$$ive financial backing of the Hollywood Motion Picture Industry behind it to instill the fear of Living Hell into the hearts of everyone - would be as lame-dicked as a eunich in a whorehouse.
DVD CD DECRYPTER SOFTWARE
Macrovision has contacted us to inform that "any license granted by Lightning UK! to AfterDawn for the distribution of any version of the Software is hereby terminated with immediate effect." Macrovision Corp., quite frankly, makes me sick to my stomach. Luckily that feature is now available in Lightning UK!'s new software, ImgBurn. One of the best features in DVD Decrypter was it's image burning engine, which allowed the burned disc to be verified against the image file.
DVD CD DECRYPTER INSTALL
The DVD Decrypter install package will be removed from our servers by Sunday, November 27th, or as soon as it is technically possible.Īfter it's development was ceased in June DVD Decrypter has been surpassed by several other software, such as AnyDVD and DVDFab Decrypter. They do, in any case, own the rights to the software, and are entitled to enforce any policy they see fit. As the current owner of the intellectual property rights in DVD Decrypter Macrovision has contacted us to inform that "any license granted by Lightning UK! to AfterDawn for the distribution of any version of the Software is hereby terminated with immediate effect."Įven though the means used to acquire the rights to DVD Decrypter bore probably more resemblance to the common methods of the entertainment industry, we have no reason to object the request made by Macrovision. Macrovision Corporation recently acquired the intellectual property rights in all versions of DVD Decrypter from its author, Lightning UK!.
