Tough fight against piracy:HD-DVD and Blu-ray can be cracked


A bad news for all those people against piracy HD-DVD and Blu-ray[PS3] can be cracked or copied.The encryption system which first declared these hightech storage devices as uncopiable lost its charm when recently a hacker publicised on a thread he created in Doom9.net forum that he found out how to crack content protection system on a HD DVD movie.
His story is interesting:
He bought a HD-DVD drive to plug on his pc and also bought a HD movie.Then he learned theat his software based movie players wouldn't allow him to view the film.The anger following this prompted for his deed.He also told that cracking HD-DVD was much easier than he expected it to be.He also suggested an antidot ie to put different keys on every disc and he adds that since that will drain a fortunefrom the manufacturers they're not expected to go that way.
