Software company SlySoft was forced to shut down by clicking here της και να σταματήσει τη διάθεση της δημοφιλής εφαρμογής αντιγραφής Blu-ray AnyDVD. Αν αναρωτιέστε γιατί, καλύτερα να ρωτήσετε το Hollywood.
Earlier this month AACS LA, a licensing group fromencryptionς που ιδρύθηκε από κινηματογραφικά στούντιο του Hollywood και άλλες μεγάλες τεχνολογικές εταιρείες όπως τη Microsoft and Intel, reminded the US government of SlySoft's unauthorized activities.
SlySoft is well-known for selling various tools for circumventing copyright protection, as did the very popular AnyDVD application, which sold tens of thousands of copies.
In 2014 AACS-LA won a court case against the software maker from Antigua, where a local court found SlySoft owner Giancarla Bettini guilty under the Copyright Act of 2003 and ordered him to pay a fine $5.000 per offense.
However, despite the AACS victory, nothing changed. According to TorrentFreak, the owner of SlySoft immediately filed an appeal and was released. Meanwhile, AnyDVD continued to run freely.
This changed yesterday when the site fell suddenly when the domain's main nameservers were deleted. At first it was not clear what caused the downtime, but a few hours ago SlySoft with a brief statement confirmed what many feared: The legal problems.
“Due to recent regulatory requirements we have stopped all activities related to SlySoft Inc. We would like to thank our loyal customers for their support all these years. ”
