DVDXCopy

[-pops-]

I've just received this from 321 Studios regarding their DVD copying software. I am posting for information only.

Dear 321 Studios Customers & Friends,

As many of you may have already heard, Judge Illston of the Northern

District of California Court ruled against us last Friday and in favor of

the movie studios.  This is the first major decision in the six

lawsuits in which we are now involved.

Her ruling included an injunction preventing us from continuing to sell

the current version of our popular DVDXCOPY software if it included a

ripper. This injunction takes effect 7 days from her order.  While we do

not agree with the rationale behind the decision, we intend to fully

comply with the order and, at the same time, file an appeal and ask her

to stay the injunction pending the appeal.

This decision is unfortunate news for us.  However, we expected the

fight for fair use rights to be a long one when we initiated it almost two

years ago.  We also expected to face great opposition and to take some

hits along the way.  Well, we are still here and are not going out of

business. Starting next week, we’ll sell ripper-free versions of

DVDXCOPY as well as all our other popular titles including DVDXSHOW, DVDXMAKER

and DVDXPOINT.

If you’d like to read Judge Illston’s decision or articles written

about us, please go to our web site at http://www.321studios.com.  If you’d

Meanwhile, we are making every effort to continue to support you and

your 321 products.

Please share this news with your friends and family.  We can use all

the support we can get to continue fighting for everyone’s fair use

rights in today’s digital world.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

Sincerely,

The 321 Studios Team.
