So Matt, if I understand you correctly, you will not go by a well-known, well-written document by respected security experts, but you will be glad to believe some wild claims and a youtube video by an anonymous hacker.

May I add that since the document is old and as far as I remember was backed by the AACS LA, it means that some of the recommendations it makes may have been implemented in the latest versions of AACS. This makes this document totally relevant to the case.

Please crawl back to your hole.
Matt,

You can probably find good information here:

As far as I know, the sequence keys have no other purpose than traitor tracing.

I believe that the volume keys won't be enough once the sequence keys are in use.
Maybe the author of the article should read a bit about private key crypto and about AACS before posting such nonsense.

Now AACS discs have a "hard-coded private key"? Gimme a break and learn about cryptography.

And those who say "They can't revoke shit because only the title keys or volume keys or 'master keys' will be published" should maybe stop talking out of their ####, should read the AACS docs at aacsla.com and learn about sequence keys and traitor tracing.

It's incredible all the nonsense that it said since BackupHDDVD has been released. And btw, this software does NOTHING to break AACS, everything in backupHDDVD is publicly available on aacsla.com.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
