I was one of the winners an luckily I downloaded it as soon as I got home. Thank you for the contest.

As far as the legal case is concerned. Why doesn’t this fall under the ruling from when video tapes came out? Since the software does not remove the copy protection from the movie isn’t this a good solution for the MPAA? Don’t consumers have the legal right to make a backup of media they own? If I want to rip a few DVDs, that I own, so I can watch them on vacation without having to lug the actual media, isn’t this a great option? I can rip a movie that I own but not distribute it. If this software is deemed illegal than more than likely people would use one of the other methods that do remove the copy protection or just download a copy that’s already been ripped. I know we all love to hate the MPAA and RIAA but I think they really are clueless. It seems to me that if they are successful at getting this software deemed illegal then they are pushing people to use software that is more detrimental to their industry as upsetting their customers.

BOOO on Hollywood. If you Purchase a movie you should be able to do what ever you want with that. If its for personal use and stays in your home then it shouldn’t matter. Im a full Firm Believer of this. Ripping a DVD is NO different that coping your CD’s to your MP3 player.

But yea I hope Real Wins this. I should of downloaded the trial version while it was out lol
