NOTE: There is some
debate about whether the use of DVD Decrypter
is legal, thus Mind-Warp PaVilion is unable to provide a direct link to
this software. Mind-Warp PaVilion does not encourage or condone its use
for copying copy-protected, region-protected or copyrighted DVDs, nor does
it host DVD Decrypter on its website. For
further information we suggest a Google search and we leave it up to the
individual to decide whether or not to use this software. Information is
also available at Wikipedia.
The use of DVD Decrypter in any of the MWP
Guides is for demonstration purposes only.

A note about BitTorrent Clients:
Mind-Warp PaVilion is aware that
there are some BT sites that require a specific BT Client be used. MWP
leans towards the use of µTorrent
because of its stability, its easy-to-use GUI and the fact that it uses
very little in the way of CPU or RAM resources. However, MWP does not have
a definite policy about which BT Client its members should use. In fact,
it is possible to have numerous BT Clients installed on your computer and
it is unlikely that they will conflict with each other unless, possibly,
they are being used at the same time.
