DVD X Copy was a software program for sale that allowed you to easily copy DVDs. But it stirred up some controversy and got in to a bit of hot water, making it all the more appealing. Why?
DVD X Copy was the first such software to make DVD burning easy. Before its creation, movie copying took hours upon hours, was tedious and involved large computer systems. 321 Systems made the revolutionary software easy to use, and very affordable to the average citizen.
So what’s the problem?
Money. The movie industries cried foul, claiming they were losing money on the illegal DVD copies being made and illegal sold to individuals. 321 Systems claimed that they understood and believed in copyright laws, and that their software should and would only be used for people to make one legal copy of a DVD.
The fight went on. A judge ruled their software was indeed illegal and they needed to remove it from stores and stop offering it for public sale. Hollywood rejoiced at the decision and continued to make millions of dollars on its movies.
That company went out of business the very same year of the court’s ruling. However, another one with the exact same name has emerged quietly since then and produces the exact same title of DVD X Copy software. Somehow, their software is set up differently and is legal compared to the older company’s version. Right on their packaging they claim they are the pre-banned software and are not affiliated with the former company of the same name.
Why was DVD X Copy so popular? It only required three steps to operate and anybody with a little computer knowledge could do it. The new software is still that easy to use, however your copies are guaranteed limited in quantity.
The Steps of Using DVD X COPY

DVD X Copy made it too easy for pirates to make money. So the newer versions track copies of DVDs and will allow you to make one copy.
