like WTF... their supposedly unique keys are based on things like manufacture date? whoever decided to not use randoms is a real winner... and he's probably going to be a key player in why AACS is taken down as easy as CSS was...

thank you whoever you are

So what does this mean going foreward? seems like they only have a few real choices:

A: Recall every BD and HD DVD disc and player and restart the whole thing. (will probably get cracked again so whats the point...)

B: Admit its been cracked and open up the technology, allow HD output over analog signals and allow people to backup their purchased movies.

C: Stick their heads in the sand and keep selling a format that restricts the usability to their paying customers but doesn't hinder piracy at all.

This is a really big deal, has the AACS come out with a statement about this at all? this sounds like it isn't fixable.

anything they do will be broken, unless there is only one decryption process there is no way in hell it won't be.


once HDCP starts up and is accepted, next generation is what you should be worried about.

when the TV's are the things decrypting and the only thing that the player does is read the data.
