AnyDVD provides fair use for Protect DVD-Video

With the help of today released AnyDVD, discs protected with
"Protect DVD-Video" can now be played on Windows MCE 2005,
with Windows Media player or Zoom Player.
WITHOUT ANYDVD RUNNING, THESE DISCS CANNOT BE PLAYED!
Examples: "Wer früher stirbt..." and "Perfume", both R2, German

Giancarlo Bettini, SlySoft CEO: "Shame on the makers of this really
bad protection. They don't do their customers a favour, if they
cannot watch the original disc! We really hope that they get these
discs slapped in their faces by their (ex)customers."

About AnyDVD:
AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy
protection of a DVD movie as soon as it's inserted into the drive,
allowing you then to backup the movie using a DVD backup tool such
as CloneDVD and CloneDVD mobile. You can also remove the RPC region
code, thereby making the movie region free and viewable on any
DVD player and with any DVD player software.
But AnyDVD doesn't just stop at DVDs. It also decrypts protected
audio CDs to allow you to copy them.
Originally developed by Elaborate Bytes, AnyDVD was acquired by
SlySoft in 2003 and has been downloaded more than 15 Million
times ...
