To the folks at SLYSOFT .... Thank You... I can now enjoy a throng of titles on my HTPC with non-HDCP compliant hardware. :)]]>Nov 7th 2007 10:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/You'd think the industry would've learned by now - they've had more than enough time to develop and implement a "fair use" system consumers have been asking for for years now. And instead the industry, like most..run by greed, has this ridiculous notion that they can explicitly dictate how we use our own legal media we buy from them.

Keep up the good work, SlySoft.]]>Nov 7th 2007 10:23PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 7th 2007 10:42PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 7th 2007 10:45PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 7th 2007 11:13PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/
Yeesh, even just writing hypothetically, that last sentence made me feel dirty. Saying anything good about DRM just feels WRONG!

Now, what is the BDA going to do? Can they change the coding on the new discs for a new version of BD+ or does it not work that way?

In other words if they've cracked the BD+ that is out there on the disks right now then they can just change the code being manufactured on the disks and then it's secured for all future disks.

You can think of it similar to an applet on the web. Except the server is the disk. All older disks with old code will be vulnerable still.

It is possible though that they've actually cracked something in the "JVM" part which will bypass the whole BD+ encryption and that would require a firmware update. The firmware update though could be distributed on the disks though. ]]>Nov 8th 2007 9:43AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 8th 2007 9:09AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 8th 2007 10:51AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 8th 2007 11:48AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/

Piracy will be much less considering the fact that the size of the movies on Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are much greater than standard dvd's.

This will result in longer burning times and/or much longer time downloading over P2P networks.

And I don't see somebody sitting their making hundreds of copies of Blu-Ray or HD-DVD disks for mass distribution unless they have an insane amount of free time on their hands.

There is going to be a temptation for the BDA to create a method of disabling broken-key discs on players and to insert that code permanently in an update to the player. I cannot see how an owner would prevent this, especially if the "update" was inserted by the BD+ on some future movie.

I bet they're regretting their lack of ethernet about now.]]>Nov 8th 2007 11:56AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/
Yeah, you better believe that the 2.0 players are being fast tracked as we speak. I can't imagine them taking longer to get the 2.0 players out, than it is taking them to release the 1.1 players.]]>Nov 8th 2007 2:08PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/
Instead of fighting a losing battle against copying, they should worry about customers with older players who won't buy their BD+ titles because they can't play them.]]>Nov 8th 2007 2:41PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 8th 2007 3:47PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 8th 2007 3:49PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 9th 2007 11:36AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/Nov 9th 2007 11:40AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/07/slysofts-latest-anydvd-beta-cracks-bd/
