Well everyone it gets worse.<br /><br />Ran across any DVD's you bought recently that you can NOT backup?<br /><br />Look for latest Sony titles like Stealth, Bewitched just to name two?<br /><br />Its called Arccos. Its made by macrovision and expect a lot of releases (not just Sony) to use it.<br /><br />Forget DVD Decrypter it won't do it.<br /><br />Perhaps no one heard how Sony + Macrovision went after the author of DVD Decrypter and got him. Not only can he not do it, once a week his PCs and stuff is checked to be sure he is not doing anything.<br /><br />Don't bother visiting his website, it belongs to them now.<br /><br />OH - and yes TURN OFF check for updates. THey are logging IPs hitting the server for updates and if they are in countries where you can be got then they get you.<br /><br />But rest assured, please visit the cool people at:<br /> http://www.slysoft.com/en/
