Has HD-DVD copyright protection been hacked (for now)?
Someone has claimed to have hacked the Advanced Access Copy System (AACS) copy protection used on HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs and posted the script and a video to “prove it.” Claiming to have spent just 8 days tweaking some code, a web forum poster created BackupHDDVD, a Java app that will apparently decode a movie and store it to a PC hard drive. As the Home Media article points out, HD discs do include a second level of protection that was not claimed to be hacked and companies will certainly work to counteract the hack.
My favorite response to the YouTube video posted: “Sad that your next video will be from Prison.”
Think it was really hacked? Let us know what you think or if you can verify that it actually works.
