Hi
If you look again.
You will see that all BD & DVD Copy / Ripper programs have been removed.
The only authoring left, is BD & DVD Creator.

My link was for LGSoftware, and they are still selling their DVD copy and conversion software.
forum.slysoft.ag
I personally think Cienoway just posts make believe stuff just for the attention and I think he is a kook too.:agree:I think Domi posted that thread just to reassure folks who frequent MyCE and not here. AnyDVD has already made provisions in case their .com site is appropriated, and won't be floundering around for several days like DVDFab.
Also, it was a slow news day and he doesn't normally post news on the weekends.
The Cienoway story is harder to justify. He (Cienoway) seems to be something of a kook.
Lighten up a bit, the topic is "Should We Be Worried". The relevance is that the "supposed" reason they are discontinuing their Blu-ray copy programs is to keep from being targets or have already been threatened behind closed doors. I do think it odd that 1-Click which has been developing this, and their forum has recent posts about new things, suddenly just dropped it at the same time. It isn't listed on their site anymore, but they are "recommending" others.
Cinavia seems to be the problem of the moment and there is no sign of a workaround now or in the immediate future.
The reason they dropped it is because LGSI do not offer any decryption in their products, they rely on others for that such as AnyDvd HD. Because the protection prevents any disc from being played in a standalone player there is no point in producing software to copy to disc. The only use you will have for a bluray copy is to produce a file for streaming through the likes of WDTV boxes etc.
As for being worried, these companies have never won a case against dvd copying yet, and a bluray disc is no different. Their argument may be that you cannot make a backup copy of the disc because it will not play, but there is already legal precedence to allow digital copies of software as a backup in most countries, even the UK is moving forward to allow this, so I doubt there will be any real threat. Cinavia seems to be the problem of the moment and there is no sign of a workaround now or in the immediate future.
and the relevance of that to this topic is where exactly? This topic is about dvdfabs sites being closed down, not some other company stopping development on a some (crappy to begin with) software product
Hi
My concerns are.
Even with changed urls.
Traffic is reduced considerably.
Scaring punters in part.
Making it difficult for the occasional surfer to track.
Ultimately this will affect revenue / resources.
With many developers withdrawing BD related software anyway.
How long before these guys decide to renew an attack on DVD ripping / copying products.
If actions are seen to have an effect.
Then the parties concerned can only be encouraged.
Added to this it appears that many A/V Security suites are starting to black list these new urls.
Again experienced users can treat as false positives.
But many "newbies" will look elsewhere.
