The under U.S copyright law people have legitiment right to make a backup copy of software as per Title 17 Chapter 1 Section 117.

There seems to be quite a bit of conflict between fair use and the DMCA.

Give them time. If it's not the movie industry then the games industry will get to them soon enough. It's sad but true.

I guess the media manufacturers will be supplying everyone with free backup copies of any media they may own currently. Let's see that's minimum 1-200 pieces per user times the equivalent population of the continental United States....well that's one hefty shipping and manufacturuing bill for coming down so hard on personal user backups.
Time to rethink

The DMCA is flawed legislation pure and simple. Besides, software priates have other means besides anything that 321 is doing. The only thing shutting them down (by way of stopping them from distributing their products) does is make it harder for people who have a legitimate and legal use for this type of software.

DVD X Copy was an excellent product for DVD copying - the best DVD Copy Software of all time. As per http://www.dvdxcopy.com , DVD X Copy products are no longer being sold or supported. I went to http://www.dvdxcopyreviews.com and there are some excellent DVDXCopy alternative software programs for DVD copying. I've tried both of the top ranked DVD copy software products and they are both awesome! Both of these companies picked up where 321 Studios left off.
