VersionTracker Threatened by Macrovision Over Mac-the-Ripper Links

Über-blog Boing Boing is reporting today that VersionTracker.com has been contacted by lawyers representing Macrovision (who makes copy protection technologies found in many commercial DVD's) threatening them with legal action unless they remove download links to Mac the Ripper, software used to rip a DVD to your Mac's HD.

"We have been contacted by Macrovision, who claims this violates their property and are threatening to sue us if we don't remove the links to it. We are checking with our legal advisors to find out what our options are. -VersionTracker Editors"
