Following the ongoing case reported earlier DVDFab, the Chinese based company behind ripping software of the same name has made arguments in a New York Federal Court stating that US Law isn't World Law and that their assets must be returned to the company so they can continue to trade outside US borders:
For example, shutting down the DVDFab domain names and enjoining the payment processors prevents defendant Feng Tao from using such domain names and payment processors for sales of unrelated products, and for sales of DVDFab products outside the United States.
The AACS (licensing outfit including Warner Bros, Disney, Microsoft and Intel) countered by saying that the injunction was ignored and that they were threatened:
Frank stated that if AACS LA refused the deal, DVDFab Defendants would distribute the software for free, thereby rendering AACS LA irrelevant.
For the time being, all U.S.-controlled DVDFab domain names, social media accounts and payment processing services remain unavailable. However, the software maker is still operational through several new domains, which can be easily found through Google and other search engines.
