I was just wondering.... Who invented DVDShrink? Why didnt the person who wrote the program sell it and make some money? Is there a reason it is free e.g the guy who designed it just liked to program or somthing? What is the background behind it all?
Im just curious as if I had the brains to write such a program you can be sure id have made alot of money out of it. Which makes me think , did he make money out of it??
There has been some posts about the official DVD Shrink site being dead. Here's a summary of the facts:
* The author of DVD Shrink has always stayed anonymous, only a few people know his real identity
* The development of DVD Shrink has ended quite a long time ago, so it is now just a matter of how the last version of DVD Shrink will be distributed
* The official DVD Shrink website was setup, with the permission of the author (after consultation with me), by the author of DVDaDVDr.com. It is this website that is down at the moment
* Ironically, the website did not contain any direct download links to DVD Shrink, instead, it linked to other website that had the download
* The website was shut down after an abuse/violations report sent to the web host of the website (an US webhost). As long as the official website is relocated to outside of the US, or preferably to a country without unfair digital copyright laws, then the official site will be back again
So is this guy some kind of cyber geek who just programs for fun or what?
Has he made any money out of it?
I find it fascinating that this guy makes a program the whole world uses and doesnt make any money and no one knows who he is. To me this guy is more interesting than Bill Gates!! LOL
