Default "Courts shut down DVD X Copy" (pcmag.com)

It looks like the legal folks are at it again trying to put a stop to the digital piracy in this country. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1536846,00.asp. The funny part about DVD copying software is that the main customers for it are likely avid digital pirates anyway. So, the courts can stop 321 studios from making this software, but chances are digital pirates will go find it on the Internet somewhere - for free.

I am assuming it was pretty easy to put a halt on production since it is still considered a felony to copy DVDs under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act in the U.S. Does anyone know if other countries have similar laws?
