"A US court has given software company, 321 Studios, a week to stop selling a program that lets people copy DVDs. The ruling is a boost for the US film industry body, the Motion Picture Association of America, which argued such software made piracy easier. "

That suxs

DVDxCopy is a great little program but there are tons of free ones that do the same thing. Still it's sad to see you're not allowed to back up your 25 dollar movies

I wonder if 321studios has had a increase in sales since the ruling? I bet they have!

I imagine so if they really want to piss off the Studio's they should take the last day that they can sell the original software & have free downloads!!

Probably something they've thought about, too. But, don't count on it happening anytime soon. They have the appeals process to go through and that can take years to settle.
