Thumbs down Macrovision doesn't need your source.

Macrovision doesn't need your source or even to disassemble your tool. They already know all the ways to unwrap their own stuff since they wrote it. They know the vulnerabilities of their system, and they also know that with enough time and effort others will discover them. That is why they constantly change their protection. Regardless of what you do, Macrovision will constantly revise its protection. You only hurt the user community by withholding it.

Rather than focusing on a keyless unwrapper, I would like to see a tutorial or utility which makes use the original CD-ROM. I think that is the inherent weakness of these copy-protection systems. The key to decrypt them is widely available since it is embedded in the original CD. There is no real need to guess it.
