Clone CD is gone forever

Lokie · 13-October-03, 04:39 AM

As a reaction to the new Copyright Law in Europe, Elaborate Bytes AG has to stop the distribution of CloneCD. The new law, which will come into force in Germany in the next days, will prohibit to copy protected media - even for private use.

CloneCD will neither be available as a boxed version in the big stores nor as an online version from Switzerland. Bilateral contracts between Switzerland and most of the European countries prohibit the sale from Switzerland to the respective countries.

Elaborate Bytes AG will sell the rights of CloneCD to SlySoft, a company located on Antigua. Only the online version of CloneCD will be available for sale on the Internet. The price will approximately stay the same and the clients of Elaborate Bytes will keep their one-year free update rights.

I stopped using newer versions of clone cd recently, they just didn't seem to work quite right. I actually still use an older version that gives better results.

I gotta agree with Skew, my older version works WAY better than the newer versions I have tried....I am such a packrat with old software.
