Of course, I agree with you! In the last years both softwares had their problems and then moved to domains like .cn and .bz!
The reasons were well known, why these things happend. As opposed to the situation here!

I didn't wrote that! (Although I think that they are now somewhat better protected due to their locations. This entire prosecution authorities is Mike possibly before! The others have already behind, for now!)
But they make a professional impression. With a well kept homepage they say, "Welcome! We are present, we inform and clear up, we are there for you ..." That seems trustworthy. As well as a clear product strategy.
Besides: To the DVDFab support I had a few questions and wrote them. Just about two hours later I received an extensive answer. The website can even be shown in german (better translated than google), so it's easier to understand for me and also my questions I could write to the support in german and I got an answer in good german.
That says to me, there is somenone behind. There are people who keep the wheel runing. And that is the opposite of what Mike currently raised.

And that's what I don't like. He suggests it's free ("All features (including Blu-ray decryption and processing) are free during BETA."), one works to it and get used to it, and then Mike "forgets" increasingly (so it seems to me) to update the key for many days, so that the programm is not really functionally anymore. No, Mike says certainly not, that it need to be bought for a further and permanent usage. That's doing some people here in the forum for him!
You can buy, but you don't need to. Maybe it works, maybe not, the chances are higher, if you pay, but - it's beta! (Yes, I know, now one comes right back and says, I've been using it for years and it always has great worked ... But the point is, it is not entitled.)
That's not really transparent. Not to say, this seems nonserious to me.
Either it's tactics, or negligence, or Mike increasingly loses interest in the project. Whatever it is, it does not speak for the project.
