    How about an Imgburn Forum... Its getting more popular, works with DvdDecrypter and Shrink and gets updated regularly... or should it be left to LUK and his site? Also, how about adding the Shrink version that burns with Imgburn to the download link... I just think its a really good program...

    Regards

    Hi Ireland and thanks for the info... I looked through the copyright page and don't see how that applies to Imgburn which just burns not rips or circumvents copyright protection and I wasn't suggesting a DvdDecrypter forum just a link to the Shrink version that burns with Imgburn, but I can see now why that can't be.

    I asked Creaky on another post why no Ingburn forum and he suggested posting it... which I did...

    Regards

    yeah, dunno if the Admins think it's worthy of a forum and i myself don't even use it so don't know too much about it, but asking wouldn't hurt.

    Also having thought about it... I found the place to download the Shrink version that burns with Imgburn by clicking through a link posted by a member on one of the forums and I have seen links to DvdDecrypter and Shrink ect in members signatures, so is it the case that links to ripping programs can't be posted by aD, but everyone else can?

    Whats the difference?

    the Finnish law is the differencre...

    quote from the article

    Thus, we've made our own analysis of the law and come to a conclusion that yes, we can continue running our site, but need to make some adjustments to the content. The law is extremely vague and leaves thousands of questions open, mostly leaving media corporations very free hands to sue whoever they wish to. Despite this, we decided to remove the content that most obviously violates the letter of the law, but decided to leave some breathing room for other areas.

    The law has phrases like "Offering commercial services that allow circumventing technical copy protections ... is illegal." But doesn't provide any guidelines on what is considered to be "commercial" and what type of service the law is talking about. Our and our lawyers' analysis is that as we're a commercial company, having ads on our site, and providing guides -- written by our paid staff members -- and tools that help breaking protections like extremely weak CSS found on virtually all DVD-Video discs, we can be sued.

    1. Forums
    * No changes. The law states that "organized discussion about breaking copy protections" will be illegal, but as nobody on our forums is planning to develop tools that break copy protections, we don't think it applies. Additionally, as everybody knows, our forums aren't exactly very organized ;-) And moderators aren't our staff members, our admins don't participate in threads discussing about how to break copy protection methods, ever.


    * Major changes. All tools meant solely for DVD ripping and/or ripping copy-protected music CDs will be removed.

    Thanks for that Ireland which clears up the point with Finnish law, rippers and aD's position very nicely, but are you saying that Imgburn is a ripper in some way and is therefore covered by Finnish law?

    Or am I missing something?

    Regards

    Imgburn is only a burn engine and shouldn't be considered in a discussion about deCSS and finnish law....it can't rip, crack, break, circumvent or bypass copy protection in any way shape or form. It is a wonderful application though and while widely used I doubt there is enough traffic to support its own forum. Questions about Imgburn can usually be answered in the DVD+/-R forums or the DVD Shrink forum for those who have the version of shrink that support autoburn via Imgburn.

    I posted to find out if Imgburn had enough support to have its own forum. After using it it seems far in advance of Nero, is still in development and, if I recall correctly, the author said he thought it would burn HD. And its free.
