So I just received my new MBP today and I re downloaded RipIt. Now it says I have 10 free dvd rips then I have to pay $25 for the full version with unlimited rips. Has anyone else noticed this? It used to be free for unlimited.
Got a tip for us?

It has been that way at least since 11/2009.
Yup, I had to pay for it also. I purchased it as part of one of the MacHeist purchases or something along those lines. Worth it IMHO.
I don't think it was ever free or unlimited. I bought it back in 09 when it was $19. Over 200 rips and 1.5TB later still going strong 
Maybe you are confusing it with MacTheRipper
RipIt was never free as far as I know
But worth the money

That's how I got it as well. I didn't think anything of it at the time, I wasn't ripping my discs. But now, I use it all the time; it's a great piece of software and am so happy I got it via MacHeist.
FYI, the license I got was for the old version and it was installed. When I went to download the old version again, it said it wasn't supported but to contact the developer. I did, and they upgraded my license to the new version, for free. Damn nice of them.
Buy this app, it is really worth the money.
Just realized I did a MacUpadte bundle purchase and that was in it, thus me never noticing an actual payment to them. I feel dumb, sorry all.
I bought my license, what do you want? It's better than Mactheripper, and still supported.
