6/11 MakeMKV 1.4.3 contains many stability improvements.
Zut alors! How dare they! Just when Sarkozy and his friends in the copyright industry thought they'd finally set a three strikes precedent, there comes the Constitutional Council and rules the whole thing unconstitutional - because no matter how you twist and turn it, the presumption of innocence still holds in France (and politicians around the world should remember that before they succumb to the talking points of high paid lobbyists). Though, they have their next attempt already on its way - it's called filtering. Under the guise of trying to stop child porn (as if there were many webhosts that wouldn't bend over backwards to get such content offline yesterday) and terrorism, it won't be long until filtering would be used to filter out content the government doesn't like - and seeing that the French government is fully into the industry's pocket, an attempt to extend filters to P2P and other things the industry doesn't like is inevitable. It's not like they're not busy trying to get access to the snooping archives ISPs keep on us already.
Finally, as the first ever P2P case to go to trial approaches its second iteration, the new defense has set their sights mighty high: not only are they aiming at a stop of the RIAA lawsuit campaign, but they've joined forces with "pay back all the money from that campaign" Harvard Law professor Charles Nesson.
