It must be a sad condition that people out there invest money into a company that pays for a handful of people to develop DRM that is so easily broken by a handful of uncompensated individuals.

Although I agree with you, I must remind you that "AnyDVD" is not free. So, the last part of your statement is a bit inaccurate.

@ Mr Stevo
You have to be a special kind of silly to pay for anything that's out on the net.
Even if it's not available free somewhere straight away it will be given a little patience.
Up the sharers!

The people who are cracking this are paid, whether you pay slysoft or not. As alluded to in threads on the slysoft forums, slysoft pays another group to do the cracking. Then slysoft sells the software on the open market.
So even if you (personally) don't pay slysoft, the people who are breaking the DRM are compensated. If a large number of people don't pay (either because they are pirating the software or just not buying it at all), then SlySoft won't have enough money to pay the crackers, and there likely won't be any more updates.
