I think we should convince Bin Laden that Macrovision is a tool of Bush, and that he should blow up it's offices worldwide... :D

DVD Decrypter to be removed
24 November 2005 7:48 by dRD
[picture]Macrovision Corporation recently acquired the intellectual property rights in all versions of DVD Decrypter from its author, Lightning UK!. 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 [DVD Decrypter] is hereby terminated with immediate effect."
Even 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. They do, in any case, own the rights to the software, and are entitled to enforce any policy they see fit.
The DVD Decrypter install package will be removed from our servers by Sunday, November 27th, or as soon as it is technically possible.
After it's development was ceased in June DVD Decrypter has been surpassed by several other software, such as AnyDVD and DVDFab Decrypter. 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. Luckily that feature is now available in Lightning UK!'s new software, ImgBurn.

I have a feeling this is just the beginning of the Cease and Desist order for Decrypter downloads its only going to get worse
First they go after the Websites then they will go after P2P networks granted they will never stop people from downloading the software
I Hate to say it but Decrypter is dead just like DVDXCOPY and others
Chalk another one up for the MPAA and company
:(

this just means they still haven't found a way to defeat Decrypter so they simply bought it. I guess its true. If you can't be them, buy them..

i feel sure that they can send out a code,to deactivate the program.
as Macrovision Corporation now owns the program.
i know it was free...but!!!!and we had the program b-4 they bought it..
question,is it still ours,or do they have a right to take it from us.
note,i do not use DVD Decrypter or have it installed.as its no lost to me..

I will not stop using Decrypter until it cannot break any of the encryption out there,plus it is still perfect for Xbox backups. I am going to try DvdFab and see what it has to offer,though.

Well in the first part I agree with Scf_au, (and being paranoid) I've kept copies of, shrink, and decrypter, on my PC for the last few months.
In the second part I've gotta go with Ireland, and wouldn't go rushing out to get it, now it's gone.
The end of an era, my friends, (just remember to switch yer modem off before burning.)

Ireland, I doubt it can disable programs already installed on your computer. You do have a firewall installed right? Just don't let dvddecryptor talk to the internet.

example,i have a program installed that i bought called ACDSee a pix editor program,they claimed after the program quit working the license was not a good one,i had it blocked with my firewall...as all the programs are on my computer..they had a back door i did not know about.
somehow they killed the program..i did call them and got it straighten out..but it took a week,they had to give me a new license.
WORDS OF WISDOM
People are discovering that when you buy any product that is subject to "activation", you haven't really bought anything.
NOTE:ACDsee is one of the best i ever used..

I have my copy of Decrypter and I will continue to use it. Any DVD does an excellent job ripping the protection off everything I have tried so far and the updates are fequent. A great product for very little cash.
