Have been a lifetime subscriber since January 2006 - so over 10 years now. I was literally this weekend planning on buying a lifetime to passkey with their 20% off offer. But with this, DVDfab have lost a sale as I will wait to rebuy this as either another lifetime/yearly sub.
My strong advice though would be three things.
1. Do not call the resurrected company Slysoft. Call it something else. SlyFox. RedFox, UnitedFox anythng but Slysoft.
2. Change the name of AnyDVD to anything else, e.g call it DVDmagic, DVDmate, DVDpassion, SocerersMagicToolbox anything else but the original name
3. Try to find someone who actually lives and is a citizen of the country you want to be based from (Brazil, Russia, China) to be the figurehead owner of the new company.
I am not a solicitor, but the three above seem commonsense to keep out of any iffy situations.
Another thing to check, the owner of Slysoft may have done a settlement with the AACS that as part of the settlement is confidential and hence why he has not told nobody, where he may have signed away the rights/ownership of AnyDVD to the AACS.
It was similar to DVDDecrypter and what happened to them. Macrovision (I think) sued the creator of DVDDecrypter and part of the settlement he signed the entire rights away of the software to them. They owned it from then on in.
He owned the source code though so came out with Imgburn. The exact same base software just with a different name and did not decrypt anything. (Before someone jumps on this, this is just what I remember reading at the time those years back of what happened).
So by keeping the name AnyDVD it could be problematic.
