Hi
Although it started with DVDFab.
The repercussions spread like ripples.
For some it is not a problem.
After all just change the url.

However:-

My concerns are.
Even with changed urls.
Traffic is reduced considerably.
Scaring punters in part.
Making it difficult for the occasional surfer to track.
Ultimately this will affect revenue / resources.
With many developers withdrawing BD related software anyway.
How long before these guys decide to renew an attack on DVD ripping / copying products.
If actions are seen to have an effect.
Then the parties concerned can only be encouraged.

Added to this it appears that many A/V Security suites are starting to black list these new urls.
Again experienced users can treat as false positives.
But many "newbies" will look elsewhere.

I guess looking to the future, it is all about streaming etc.

I agree with the total post above. 100%.
