DVD X Copy Platinum is the software king of old. Before any ripping software was available, this program forged the path for consumers to protect their home entertainment investments. When businesses started encrypting their software, this created an out for the honest folks who simply wanted a duplicate of a disc they had already purchased.
Sadly, the world is full of people who are willing to do just about anything to make a buck. Their moral meter does not see anything wrong with purchasing a program, making copies, and selling them to friends, family, and anyone else in order to make a small profit. Unfortunately, these individuals do not honor the copyright laws, and it is almost impossible to catch everyone who tries to attain financial gain with someone else’s work.
Naturally, in order to stay in business and keep their workers employed, something had to be done to prevent the growing problem of outright thievery. Thus, some computer genius came up the means to encrypt the software and making it almost impossible to copy.
Generally, when users try to make a copy, the disc will just reject the effort and fling up some sort of message saying that copying the software is prohibited. While it is true and justified, it sure makes it a pain for the honest folks who just want to have a backup of a movie they came by honestly. After all, there is no law against making a copy of something owned, as long as it is for personal use only.
DVD X Copy Platinum, the software king, spearheaded the effort to come up with a program to decrypt purchased DVDs, so owners could make those copies. Now, people did not have to worry about a favorite disc wearing down or getting broken, because there is another copy ready to be duplicated and then used. Unfortunately, for some reason, the program ran into some legal troubles. In the end, it was taken off the market; but not before other software took up the gauntlet and gave people the resources to protect their investments.
