I can't beleive those suits in Washington shut you down. DVD Decryptor was the first program I found that actually WORKED. This is a big loss to the legitimate users. I just wish that the people in Washington realize that without backing up your own games and movies, there is potential for spending more money. I hope someone will make a simillar program.

Finland, where Afterdawn is hosted, apparently has better laws re copyright, for now

Rest easy, everyone. As long as their is copy-protection (even the upcoming encyption on Hi-Def D DVD's), there will always be a program to circumvent them. The last version of DD will still work for at least another year (until a unified standard of encryption is introduced), but this is just a guess. Until then, live one day at a time.

Thanks for the time you took making what will always be a great tool, LIGHTNING UK. I don't blame you for not trying to fight. Take it easy man, and don't stress it, you did WAY more then your part, and we all thank you.

So sick that it had to come to this. Best tool out there. When will they get it through their heads that the copy protection is the real criminal activity, preventing others from legitimately backing up their property, as it is their right? But, yes, I agree with the previous posts *cough* open source *cough*.

Well I have 2 kids and have lost count of the amount of shagged DVDs in my collection. DVDD was my lifesaver so it will be severly missed. As previously suggested, if the code was made open source, then the legacty will continue...asssuming of course this hasn't already been stamped on.
No doubt others will follow but I wish the best of luck to LIGHTNING_UK and if there is anything I (or other DVDD users) can do to help, then please please do not hestitate to shout.

This is the bad news I am looking at, but, the odd thing with the two-year-old law makes this seem like Lightning UK! is fakeing us out (He wouldn't do that though). This will only drive up piracy of stuff such as AnyDVD though, which is too bad for SlySoft.

OMG! I can't beleive that they are gone.This was the best ripper I have ever used.It's sad to think that this is the last version available.I still remember when I purchased dvd x copy and it wouldn't work for me at all and I couldn't return because I opened the package.And then I found this software and it made up for all the bad experiences that I had with dvd x copy's software and tech support.I hope that they still host this on doom9.org.The software was so versitile in use as a decrypter and a ripper and less than 1mb in size.If it is open source then it should be of good use.

Well there really shouldn't be a be big fuss,because they are not selling the program it is a freeware project.I hate to see this happen,even though I didn't really use DvdDecrypter that much it wasn't bad for getting DVD-9 images.I am sure the source will get out,but you still have to remember how long it is going take to rebuild it again with an update.Sure it is possible to build the program,but how would someone figure out the latest Macrovision codes.I think people will have to resort to something else for the time being.

Oh and I give the authors of the program alot of respect,because alot of people would have tried to make money off the program.I think it was cool how they made it free for everyone to use.

A sad day indeed :(
the best thing we can all do is never buy an original DVD/game/piece of 'big name' software again.. i'd rather give my money to the guys on the markets & car boot sales of this world than the feckers that shut DVD Decrypter down. b*stards.
