Clonecd Is No More

**Illuminati** · 09-19-2003, 04:43 PM

I only just found this on Neowin 10 minutes before this post - The CloneCD section on Elby's web site confirms this.

This is a dark time IMO; CloneCD was (although not as well known as) in line with Nero and Alcohol 120% in terms of cloning performance, although it hardly reached outside of Europe.

It will be missed

The Euro DMCA has had its first victim: long time market leader in CD copy software, CloneCD is no longer sold in stores throughout Europe, and its parent company will sell the rights to the program to Slysoft, the company distributing AnyDVD. Hopefully, some corners of the world will never be touched by consumer hostile laws like the DMCA.

Due to the new legal situation we will stop the sales of CloneCD We would like to take the opportunity to thank our customers for the long loyalty to CloneCD. We hope that you will also be excited about our future products and remain with the most cordial greetings

AFAIK, it was 4.2.0.2.

If you don't have it, there's a DDL for the setup in one of the comments on the source page I gave above.

It's a shame what terrible organisations such as the DCMA can be capable of.

I'm just curious to know why CloneDVD is still being continued though? In my opinion, ClonCD is the best 1:1 CD copier available at the time and it will always be.
