I've been hospitalized for quite some time due to a motorcycle accident and have been offline for what seems like forever. Consequently I haven't been home nor have I had any new DVDs to back up until a couple of days ago when I got a welcome home gift of the first two seasons of Rick & Morty (highly recommended by the way, Rotten Tomatoes critics rate it at 100%).
Of course the first thing I did was check to see if there was a new version of AnyDVD, as I imagine most users do. Lo and behold, Slysoft is no longer in business and my lifetime updates appear to have ended long before my life. If I'm reading things right, AnyDVD's new owners want me to buy another lifetime license for over a hundred dollars?
The doctors tell me I'm very lucky to be alive, though this whole ordeal has left me deep in debt. So while my actual life has been saved, my lifetime of updates appears to be quite dead. A hundred+ bucks is probably pocket change to most people, but I believe it'll be quite some time, if ever, that I'll have that kind of money to spend on a DVD backup program. Or rather, re-spend.
Am I really without options here?
