this is an email i recieved from 321 studios about the recent law suit about dvdxcopy. there is a link to read up on it and to also send and email to your represenatives.
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
like to offer your support, please visit http://www.protectfairuse.org.
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. |
