Rarewares removes DVD-Audio tools following legal threats

let me be the first to say ... huh?

LMAO.....

I really had no interest in the "tools" until I was told that I couldn't have it. Now, I MUST have a copy and price is no object... See how simple it is to make things happen, just OBJECT to the natural order of things and WOW, nature will takes it's course... Lawyers will NEVER learn!!! ROTF-LMAO!!!! - Mike -

Lawyers are true bottom feeders along with the slime that runs the movie industry. They can't bear the thought of someone that buys a DVD at a high price to make a backup copy for their own personal use. Unlike those in power-they only exist for MONEY & PROFITS. Being billionaires is just not enough for them. May they all burn in hell.

Why would you even want to rip audio from a dvd?

@Jasper44 Asking that question is like asking someone why they like a certain band. It's because they do lol.

you might want for example pulpfictions dialogue

You guys got it wrong -- the tools were for ripping DVD-Audio discs. The discs you watch with average DVD player and your TV are DVD-Video discs, even if they are concert clips or whatever. DVD-Audio discs are super high-resolution (==way better audio quality than on normal audio CD) music discs that sometimes (like concert discs) have surround sound. They typically don't have video at all, or only as an extra feature. They are meant to replace audio CDs in future and use completely different encryption from DVD-Videos, thus DVD Decrypter & co wont do any good.

So the war continues.....the tools are still out there...so another battle one for software rights.

I WANT THESE TOOLS NOW TOO! goT 'EM.

check the torrent sites they are there

Ok, so what are the tools called so I can search for them?

How reassuring, eh..lawyers defending those moral guardians of fiscal matters: Sony, Microsoft. Boy, do we have a lot to look up - I'm so grateful that they can spend such large sums of money defending themselves in making threats to software engineers - I'm so grateful that their monopolies on global market shares will remain undaunted. I'm so glad that these corporations can exploit the labour force in one country, whilst exploit consumers in another. And it's obvious isn't it - they tell people to remove software, and hey presto everyone removes it. Simple isn't it. I mean..there's only a small network called the internet to stand in their way alas being the pillars of the community they are, I am sure that these poeple will natually understand that the whole world looks upto them - and laughs at the moral highground on which they stand..
