The LTL has fulfilled its purpose of updates for the lifetime of SLYSOFT AnyDVDHD . No more SLYSOFT to give updates to you but thankfully now we have RedFox to take its place and all that's required is to support the project and purchase a license for RedFox AnyDVDHD and you will get updates based on the amount of time your license is valid for ;
You are so misinformed its embarrassing. How can you take something thats in someones mind and say they cant use it. You have what you paid for. Up until the devs got to version 7.6.9.0 you have it. And you can keep it for your lifetime. They didnt get paid after that. They were nice enough to create V7.6.9.5 so you could it for 150,000 discs for the rest of your life. You just do not get updates. Thats it. No more. Either they would go out of business and you have nothing or you buy into the new project. Its your choice. I hope you join us. Thank you and I hope you enjoy V 7.6.9.5. Feel free not to reply.
I agree, RedFox 1, and I want to add this comment to the discussion: If no one from Fengtao or MakeMKV takes on the Ultra HD Blu-ray (UHD) format, then nobody (IMO) will be able to back up those UHD Blu-ray discs. The only one that can usually crack these new protection schemes first has always been Slysoft/RedFox, not MakeMKV, and certainly not Fengtao.
Both of these are good valid reasons but I think some are wanting Freebees for life and fail to understand RedFox didn't cause the demise of Slysoft. RedFox is not the defunct/dead Slysoft - but they are still grabbing for straws. That is what they are seeing and interpreting regardless of the Facts that is shown and told of. That's what I also found on Fengtao site as well the sticker shocker for the prices even with discounts I was flabbergast - I wish I had that money to pull out where the sun don't shine but I also have commitments that needs $$ as well. But as RedFox1 says they can buy or use the old one without updates or OPD access and sooner or later they will come up again the Protection and have to make a life change or not. But then again they will have to live with their choice.

Very well put clams . All I could possibly add is to ask the person reading this right now;To anyone investigating any and all of the above links. The facts of the matter are pretty clear.
As the Myce article notes - the AACS LA has had a real "boner" for Slysoft for a good while.
(I guess they don't conside Fungtooie and his Blue Monkey a serious threat.
Apparently frustrated with the delays using the legal process in Antigua, the AACS LA got the US State Dept to "put the arm" on Antigua by adding (or threatening to add?) it to the copyright priority watch list.
This was enough pressure to cause Antigua to force the immediate shutdown of all Slysoft related activity. (lest Antigua be black-balled)
The former owner of Slysoft (G.B.) "got out while he still could" - leaving the staff owed a few months back-pay. (largely because his funds were destroyed by the legal fight)
Thus, our Devs swung a deal to be able to use the product names in lieu of their back pay. And "The Redfox Project" was soon born.
The Redfox Project had the names - but no MONEY to proceed. That's where we come in. All we are doing by contributing "again" (as some say) for new licenses (lifetime or otherwise) is effectively "crowd-funding" our Devs to be able to do "the voodoo that they doodoo". ie make the best damn decryption tools on the planet. Without our funding AnyDVD would simply have "gone away" quietly.
Simple enough?

I think that was far to simple those still wanting to complain will not want to read it instead will read what they want to read and reinterpret it to match what they think they read.To anyone investigating any and all of the above links. The facts of the matter are pretty clear.

No other company has the expertise to crack the new UHD format and my guess is the monkey outfit will have to wait until Redfox does before that can sell anything they are just a bunch of pirates IMHO
