Now its going "mainstream" it wont be long before its cracked, as with everything, Why bother?

1 time burn + coaster = damn

That is bull****. What if something happens during the burn process? Or what if the burned dvd got scratches?

lol burn to disk > dvdshrink > more copy's... i see how this is going to work.

They need to start making some movies worth stealing first.

what? i'm sure there are plenty of programs to do that for you... generally if you can watch it, you can copy it

anyway, i expect they'll offer their own burning program (otherwise it won't recognise the DRM and update it) so it should let you reburn if it fails in the burn.

And the 30th use of the abreviation CSS award goes to...

This is daft though, they surely cant be that dim, do they not realise that DVD's can scratch?

It's as if these companies are completely clueless to the products they themselves design...actually it could be that these companies are smart and create this **** that they know won't work just so they can make a few bucks before they are run out of business.


And whoever wrote this article needs to be shot for lack of detail. They say "It uses Content Scramble System (CSS) encryption. But wait! It hasn’t been cracked (yet)"...Um every DVD on earth uses CSS, so if they are talking about some new form of CSS it proably won't actually be called CSS.

Bottom line is irregardless of the encryption as long as you provide the key in any way shape or form it can be simulated. In the case of DVD's/DRM the key is the player itself. In order for any device or software to play any form of encrypted media that device must of course be programmed to recognize and decrypt the data and thats all you need access to in order to study and simulate the devices decoder.

During talks of copying music/DVD's people always like to gloat how you can just hook whatever player up to a computer or such and do a direct recording as the music/DVD plays...while this is true, the truth is that it is highly doubtful that people will ever be reduced to doing this. As long as you give the people access to the devices that play the media, then those devices can be reverse engineered and emulated

It's called Qflix

People will use the old method, it's easier

As many have already said here, what they're doing is exactly like boarding up the window, then reinforcing it with bars, while COMPLETELY ignoring the large and wide open door right next to it.

As with music "if you can hear it you can record it", movies are still "If you can see it you can record it." Copy protection is a joke and will always be a joke.
