It was only a matter of time: HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Busted
Saw this on Engadget. Some commenters on Digg thought that the movie corp’s would just change the key now that it’s in the open. They won’t. I have to give them credit to be smarter than that - because now that someone knows where the key is, even if it changes, it would only take the smallest of programs to scan a disc and discover it.
No, they’ll definitely move it. And change it. And change the way it works.
But then… the cycle will begin again.
* NOTE: I can honestly say I’ve never copied (even legitimately) an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc, or even a regular ol’ DVD [yet]. I do not support Piracy, however I also do not support DRM - I do not believe a person should have to pay $29 for a movie that they have already purchased for $19, simply for the ability to watch it in a much smaller, lower quality format (and other examples along those lines).
