DVD Decrypter Author Served With Take-Down Order

[oakleeman]

The DVD Decrypter author has announced that he has been served with an order to cease his development of DVD Decrypter. The developer has been forced to hand over all source code and the domain that he was using. In a post on cdfreaks, Lightning UK says:

A “certain company" has “decided they don"t like what I’m doing (circumventing their protection) and have come at me like a pack of wolves. I’ve no choice but to cease everything to do with DVD Decrypter.I realise this is going to be one of those "that sucks - fight them!" kinda things, but at the end of the day, it"s my life and I"m not about to throw it all away (before it has even really started) attempting to fight a battle I can"t possibly win.”

With 'a certain company' assuming the domain name, I would disable the 'check for updates' option in DVD Decrypter..... better safe than sorry, I say.
