DVD Decrypter enters the crypt

In a post to CDFreaks' news pages, our hassled hero, calling himself Lightning UK, decided the letter thrust into his sweaty palm ordering him to desist, cease and halt development and distribution of his handy little software tool was too scary to resist.

"A certain company," says Lightning, has "come at me like a pack of wolves." And he's no choice, he says but to cease everything to do with DVD Decrypter rather than get embroilded in a legal battle he can't possible win.

Writes Lightning: "If 321 Studios can"t do it with millions, what chance do I have with £50?"

DVD Decryter.com has vanished from the InterWeb and Lightning has begun writing to mirror sites and other known distribution outlets advising them to strip the product from their virtual shelves.

Verions 3.5.4.0 will be the last version of DVD Decrypter to see the light of day and the website will be handed over to the "certain company" by the end of the week.
