That's just how the lobbyists of the movie industry managed to get what they wanted (in many countries). They did not manage to take away the right to make backup copies but they managed to get circumventing the copy protection outlawed. Which means they can put the simplest, stupidest copy...

Use the 3 cards to buy bitcoins.

Only I don't need to actually buy USD in order to wire transfer them. I can simply wire them from my CHF account and it also does not cost me any fees at all. And like already mentioned, I cannot afford speculating with crypto currency. I need my money to buy real things like food and pay the rent.

I use MultiBit as wallet on my pc and sending and receiving payments is fairly easy. But I have to admit that I kind of hate bitcoins because of the fact that you always end up spending much more than the asked price. First you pay fees for purchasing the bitcoins (the fee taken by the...

I use Linux on a daily basis and Blue Rays can definitely be played on Linux, at least unencrypted discs/ isos. It might not be as "shiny" as with PowerDVD but the main purpose, playing the movie, is definitely fulfilled. And I bet Linux users are not frightened by this because if you don't like...

I don't have such problems, generally I play my discs on my pc where AnyDVD suppresses Cinavia protection just fine. But I also cannot see a problem concerning the file size of a rip with 24 LPCM since an ordinary Blue Ray rip is by design about 40 GB. A few GB more or less does not make that...

So the request for encoding in 24 bit LPCM should actually be directed at Elby since they are the developers of CloneBD.

Which is a copy protection mechanism. They can call it what they want but DRM's purpose is to restriction the ability to make (backup) copies which makes it a copy protection to me.

But it does remove the protection(s). Only Cinavia remains because it's part of the audio stream that cannot be removed without reprocessing the audio itself. What's more AnyDVD let's you playback the Isos on your PC by suppressing Cinavia detection by players like Power DVD. Or you use an...

Yep, so in either case you need a backup. I've got 3. A daily backup on may NAS, a weekly on external HDDs and a monthly backup on another external HDD in a drawer at the office. There I keep my most valuable data so even in case of a catastrophic event at my house I would not lose my family...

Discs do fail, normally they won't even last 10 years. Many of my burned CDs from around 2000 do not work anymore. Optical disc are simply not suitable for long term backups. And of course you need a backup of your HDD. There is an old rule in IT thay says data that has not been backed up does...

I think morally the comparison with guns is suitable. Legally it isn't though because there are regulations in certain countries that outlaw software that helps to circumvent compy protection. And those laws are (or were) actually Slysoft's problem. In many countries it was strictly prohibited...

As much as I agree with your statement there is a problem. In many countries it's illegal to circumvent copy protection. And since AnyDVD does exactly that it's considered illegal as well. Or in other words: Slysoft is (or was) indeed helping people do something unlawful. This is not my...

Nice! Seems the Fox is really about to be revived.

Could it be that you overlooked the question mark in my post? ;)

Actually "they" did not adapt their business model. It was Apple who changed the game with iTuens. Although I hate that company we have to admit that if it wasn't for Apple they would still sell DRM protected music. So they where actually forced to change their minds by another money greedy...

And who exactly backs up his movies onto optical discs? Well you can but I'd go for the hdd. And in order to rip such a protected disc we would need? Exactly, AnyDVD HD or whatever it will be called. I doubt many people are still copying disc nowadays. At least for me the only disc that I've...

Well, got to redfox.com and you will understand ;)

Slysoft has been shut down and so has the website. Currently only the forums are running.

I think it would be best to spread the different assets all over the world. A server in Hong-Kong, an address in Brazil, payments in Bitcoins, backups in... you get the idea. That way it would be very difficult for the authorities of any country to act against redfox, slysoft, whatever. And even...
