Following our recent story [soylentnews.org] where AACS (licensing bunch for Warner Bros, Disney, Microsoft, Intel) managed to have DVDFab's Servers, Domains and Bank accounts seized, Aiseesoft [aiseesoft.com] (also Chinese) and Canadian based LG Software Innovations [lgsoftwareinnovations.com] have both back away from their own Blu-Ray ripping software citing issues with the Cinavia Blu-ray protection mechanism [torrentfreak.com], the lawsuit against DVDFab, and the apparent inability of companies outside the US to escape the jurisdiction of US courts, the company said that its forthcoming Blu-ray product will be shut down.

But just as others exit the market [myce.com], DVDFab says it is making every effort to undermine the actions taken against it, with new domains, a new support site [ilikedvdfab.com], prize giveaways, product discounts and even protest graphics.
