No, it doesn't effect me in any way. And if you read my signature, you'll know that I usually don't speak for SlySoft.
I am worried, because this smells like an attack of the "powers, that be".
Sony, AACS, Macrovision (Rovio? Irdeto? How are they called today?), MPAA, CSS, ... pick your poison.
This usually isn't much fun.
I understand that what you say, is your opinion and you don't speak for Slysoft, but I respect what you say because you know what you're talking about and you are on the "inside" of the "DVD/Blu-Ray back up" programs. You also make it your business to know these types of things, or that what it seems to me.
What I can't understand is why would the "powers, that be" would go after someone who is just programming a "converting" program, Make MVK (one of the smaller guys), which doesn't decrypt anything and not the people/companies in the USA who are creating the decrypting and coping (all-in-one) programs (I won't mention any names of the competitor's products, but most of us know who they are).
That's why I thought that you were a little bit worried, because they, the "powers, that be", might want to come after Slysoft and somehow shut you down like they did with Mike, even though you aren't in the USA. But now I know that you were concerned about Mike, and I don't blame you. So would I! :agree:
I just hope that they, the "powers, that be", don't even try to attempt to, somehow, make things a little rough for Slysoft! You guys are doing the right thing! You have one program that decrypts (AnyDVD HD). Then, you have (really Elaborate Bytes) CloneDVD2 (which only copies and not decrypts), and SOON, hopefully,
Slyce, which will be able to do everything (some day) the competitors programs do, but better, and hopefully with more features!
Just make sure, when
Slyce is released, you let me know where to leave or send everything I own, have in the bank, pets, cars, insurance policies, home (I can ship it to you in pieces
), but you won't be able to have my girlfriend, because by then, I won't have one!
Keep up the good work and I hope to see Slyce released on, or before Monday, December 31, 2012 at 11:59PM! That is if the world doesn't end on
December 21, 2012 according to the
Mayan Calendar!!!
