It was used to be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and I don't think he changed his ISP in
last couple of years (see goldenhawk.com nameservers).
[EMAIL PROTECTED] should be fine too.

This guy made very questionable things with his program, full of anti-pirating traps
that helped many official customer make dozen of coasters, and increased the number of
bugs (no-sense added complexity => bugs).
He started to marked his program as the first software in able to copy PSX disks (in
fact, it was formely known as "psxcopy", lately renamed to dao, then cdrwin for the
Windoze version), gaining attention from 99.9% pirates, then exhibited the bad
attitude I cited before.. strange, isn't it?
Last, the problem is in a "freeze" state from years now, and.. many better programs
both for Windows and for Un*x (thanks to Joerg & Andreas) are available.
In short, taking in account the past, I'm not so upset if this guy fade out from the
"cd-recording" scene: respect of the customer base, both if he paid (in the case of
commercial software) or not (free software), is the way for a software to survive.

Cris
P.S. Joerg you, as always, rocks. Keep rocking!
