Funny, you ask the question and answer in the same news Ben. HD DVD and its flagrant lack of security let people hack from Europe (on films that have a different distributor), and voila.
Think about it two seconds, and you'll see that this state of affair, if nothing else, is encouraging -EVERYONE- (as in Studios and distributors) to switch to Blu Ray fast and generalize the Use of BD+. Also, you will note that Slysoft as only ever said they cracked -1- title. Insiders have revealed that the encryption for BD+ can be changed for each title, making the work very tough to crack a number of them. Thus a shady company like Slysoft encouraging people to buy HD DVD (the kiss of death from a Studio point of view lmao). With Blu Ray (or HD DVD) discs probably getting to DVD MSRP price soon (between $24.95 and $19.99), and the Bogos and B2G1 going on, buy some discs, instead of pirating.
