I wonder when they learn, that you can't make a lock (or a protection system) that someone won't open without a key?

I don't care about their precious content. If I won't be able to play it the way I want it I won't buy it. Sooner or later they will show it on TV, and I'll watch it for free without buying crappy HD-DVD or any special equipment for it :)

Chris,

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS"muslix64 exploit

On December 27, 2006 a person using the name "Bootie Loffelmacher" posted a utility named BackupHDDVD and its source code for a working AACS exploit on the doom9.org forums. A video of the hack can be found on YouTube. This hack appears to use a similar methodology to the DeCSS hack, exploiting weak player keys. Source The title keys are located on the disk in encrypted form, but need to be decrypted for content to be played; "muslix64" claims that the title keys were found in main memory."...."Thus, despite heavy investment and attention from leading manufacturers and content providers, the system appears to have been defeated before final license agreements were available from the legal department."

So, Wikipedia is publishing that AACS has in fact alreday been cracked. You should go in and update the article.

One of the advantages of HD-DVD over Blue-Ray has always been the the architecture/standard required that the media/player allowed the copying of the HD-DVD to a hard drive.

How does this intersect with all of this AACS blather?

Well who knew that AACS was, at least partially, defeated by the psychological problems of the "players" involved!

If I were the MPAA I would get rid of all of the "insecure players", and anyone else in the movie business who suffer from insecurities. How can you trust anyone who is insecure!

No, IMHO. I'm not sure muslix64 knows either.

Ex1. "I did not break AACS, but I find a way to decrypt movies and I have bypassed all the revocation system."

Ex2. "Did I break AACS? I don't know."

I would say that he found a way to decrypt AACS protected content, however no one has yet to be able to find the keys needed. Finding the needed keys is the important part. Once found, the AACS docs provide just about all the information needed to decrypt the content.

So were you right or wrong on the Chris, has AACS been comprimised or not?
