All this could do is slow down the adoption of HD-DVD or Bluray. But it also prove that nothing is 100% secure and unbreakable.

Now Studios will be scared to publish movies on any medium. The fear of loosing money....

They need to come with a new medium that will ONLY be available for TV, with a special connector and protection. No way to connect it to any other device and to extract the information. And I bet that even this would be cracked given some time and effort.

Hypocrisy at its best. Neowin is allowing this post in BPN but when I posted my version of BackupHDDVD in the software branding section some mod deleted my thread and gave me a warring. :no:

That mod must have been uneducated, as BackupHDDVD contains nothing that violates any rules or laws. It doesn't even provided a key like like program that are used for DVD backup which are posted regularly, so even the Blu-ray/HDDVD industry can't do much about it.

Exactly .. I am not going to say who that mod was but he definitely was a noob. Oh well .. now I am stuck with this warring that I don't deserve.

Btw .. as I see doom9 is being linked here anyway .. why not link it one more time http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=121042

I'm happy that this happened because now, I can watch HD movies without worrying about region protection and HDCP.

I have a recently bought Nvidia 7900GS that is NOT HDCP compliant, and I travel a lot and like to pick up movies when I find ones I want.

I buy movies legally because I believe that people who create the content deserve my money, but it ****es me off when they limit my playback.

What movie companies should realize is that they are forcing me to go through the ripping procedure just so that I can watch the movies that I bought.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
