With such a widespread publicity of the DVD-Audio circumvention tools, it took just two days for the the Rarewares publisher Roberto to receive a phone call from his big local lawyer office demanding these tools and including all references to the tools to be removed or face court. So obviously he agreed remove them. eranros submitted the following news via our news submit:

I got a phone call from a big local lawyer office (no fake, I checked the caller ID and the phone number really belongs to a lawyer office). They have been hired to make me stop distributing the DVD-A tools. It was a reasonably big talk, but I can summarize it with They: we are giving you two choices, either you remove all references to those tools from your site now, or we'll have to take you to court. Me: I'm already removing! They: Thank-you for your cooperation.

Just like how all it takes is for one person to make a successful rip of a CD for it be shared out of control, the same has already happened with this software. In my opinion, the ability to extract content from DVD-Audio will help to push DVD-Audio sales. Until now, consumers are very restricted on what they can play DVD-Audio on. By being able to extract the contents means that the consumer could try encoding it into DTS format, recording this as a DVD-Video disc, thus allowing them to playback the content through their existing DVD player and a suitable 5.1 surround sound system.
