Can’t say I feel sorry for them.

MacTheRipper uses libdvdcss (which is licensed under the GPL), but the developers of MacTheRipper are refusing to release the source code. They’ve said that they’re going to release the source code when the final version is released, but that’s bullshit. They should either stop distributing the binary or start distributing the source code for the binary NOW, as required by the GPL.

The website was taken down, but the project is still there.

They’re looking for new hosting (probably in canada?). Nothing to see here.

If not, it should be. Once the source is released, there will be no keeping it away from the masses.
