HDDVD and Bluray completely cracked?

Hackers discover HD DVD and Blu-ray "processing key" -- all HD titles now exposed

Those cooky kids over at the Doom9 forums hate themselves some DRM. Not more than two months after discovering a means to extract the HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc "volume keys" to decrypt AACS DRM on individual films, we're now getting word that DRM hacker arnezami has found the "processing key" used to decrypt the DRM on all HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc films. Let's break this down for what it is: instead of needing individual keys for each and every high-definition film -- of which there are many -- the processing key can be used to unlock, decrypt, and backup every HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc film released so far. As arnezami points out, "nothing was actually hacked, cracked or even reverse engineered." All he had to do was keep an eye on his memory, watch what changed, and voila... the processing key appeared. So kick back and watch the trickle of HD titles hitting the torrents quickly turn into a flood (at ~20GB a pop, that's not an exaggeration) when the BackupHDDVD and BackupBluray utilities (or AnyDVD HD) are updated to reflect the new hack find

Good news.

It's a real shame, that to get fair use rights, we have to break the law (and of course, more DRM will be blamed on pirates)

You know I am on 2 sides of this one. I honestly want to say congrats and great job to this person for doing it, but at the same time, you know 99.9% of the people that will be using this to download HDDVD's are doing it without ever owning the original, and that's just sad

[Malisk]

Both Apple and Yahoo! has now said they don't like DRM too, maybe 2007 will be known as the year when the tide of DRM turned. *dramatic music* :rofl: :p

That can be said of lots of things, e.g. P2P, used for commercial products, but pirates use it as well, doesn't mean it's a bad thing though.

I'm glad that they were able to crack it. I feel that if you bought the HDDVD or Bluray disc, then you should be able to rip it to your pc or do what you want with it.

[ThePitt]

completely cracked?. I think is too early to assure that

[goji]

And I don't want to. Now everything can be seen, razor burn and all. :no:

[Chanser]

You could see the wiggly sperm waving. :p

[canuckerfan]

god bless doom9.

[laz45]

Theres HD-DVD porn already in Japan if you want...

[Chanser]

Ask yourself this, can you really be arsed to download 20GB or 50GB movies/games? :/ :pinch: Unless you have a uber fast connection.

[laz45]

20GB takes me like 3 hours so its pretty good, I just need HD-DVD+R's and a Burner :(

[MR.T]

^^^What kind of connection do you have?

[random_n]

You could see the wiggly sperm waving. :p

I think you'll have to wait for the HHDDVVDDBVD player to get *that* kind of resolution. :| :no:

[laz45]

^^^What kind of connection do you have?

15Mbps

[TheSecondComing]

It's gonna get cracked. When the RIAA & MPAA get their stuff together & quit with all of the "copyright" protection it will be a lot better/easier for the rest of us.

You can't get more hi-def than real life. So I guess you are saying you are a virgin?
