Found this interesting - 123 Copy DVD has released a $20 product of the same name, claiming its tool is "the first product of its kind that allows the user to back up any movie while remaining compliant with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act."
According to Van Doren, the 123 Copy DVD Web site provides links to third-party sites offering free decryption tools. In his judgment, the company is staying within the law.
"We're providing a product that's compliant [with the DMCA] and addresses a need," Van Doren says. If people want to alter the program to copy encrypted discs, "it's not our responsibility to police that action," he says.
