Anyone know the legality of this program in the US?
Generally any program that Circumvents a Technological Protection Measure will violate the DMCA. See "The DMCA's Anti-Circumvention Provisions and Removal of Copyright," § 14:7.1 of the Practising Law Institute's Treatis on Copyright Law. -- Cooleymd 21:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
........ The statement above is subject to the proviso that the technological protection measure is protecting something other than the measure itself, and which is copyright in its own right. Hence drm whose only purpose is to "lock in" the purchaser to products made by the manufacturer, and where the claimed copyright is only in the measure itself, and not what is being supposedly protected, are not covered by the DMCA. (Cases include Lexmark - where drm prevented users from re-filling laser toner cartridges, and Chamberlain - where it was claimed that replacement generic remote controls infringe copyright. In both of those cases, the copyright claimed was in the measure itself, and that which was being "protected" was not capable of being copyrighted. In those circumstances, the courts held that circumventing the measure did not infringe the DMCA.)........ ( 82.29.215.250 14:50, 18 February 2007 (UTC))
In Canada copywrite law allows one to make backup copies of documents and materials for one's personal use within limits. If you have purchased and own a copy of said document or material (i.e. commercial DVD). I think; but that might change (see below).

Image:Anydvd logo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, I ask you guys: is this fair? Or what differences are there which made AnyDVD not as vulnerable as DVD Decrypter? Probably because they can sue a private person more efficiently than a company? -andy 85.176.254.201 ( talk) 21:25, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Hai gais!! Sorry I rather suck at using Wiki but I have worthwhile news.
Any DVD is dropping the free updates model and forcing you to buy new every year, they are currently running a promotion to get people to buy unlimited update license right now and that promo has been extend. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/16484.cfm
I can't find the article at this time but some time ago they switched to the euro, at a current price of 49 that's almost 100 USD, when befor it was closer to 50$.
Thats all I have for now sorry I can't compute army time well so I tossed in standard time 0-o, sorry for the mess.
