DVDDecrypter is no more.

According to this news page from CDfreaks LIGHTNING UK! the creator of DVDDecrypter was contacted with a cease and desist letter from an unnamed company ( rumor has it that Sony might be the one ) and he was asked to deliver all his source code and his website to that company and to stop all development of his famous software. Truly a sad day for all DVD enthusiasts and a day that fair use is crippled.
My guess is that a new tool will pop out but on the other hand MPAA's actions to stop the so called piracy seem to work, all they had to do was turn the planet against them in order to do that. Sometimes you have to loose some in order to win, you should take a lesson from Microsoft's products, if they weren't pirated that much would it be number one today ?
