Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD Protection Code Hacks Flood Internet

Sunday May 6, 2007
They were touted as being unbreakable, but, as reported in my previous Blogs, Hacker Claims To Have Broken HD-DVD Codes, HD-DVD Movie Pirates Strike Again, and Blu-ray and HD-DVD Master Anti-Copy Code Hack Claim, hackers have successfully broken the security codes designed to protect Blu-ray Discs and HD-DVDs from being copied. In the latest point-counterpoint, hackers, and their supporters, have posted the actual text of the main protection code for the hi-def discs on both the internent and in other media, including T-shirts. The movie studios counterpoint has been to send cease-and-desist orders to websites on which the code has been posted, but it seems that the Studio's efforts are becoming futile. For more details and analysis on this important continuing story, check out the report from The Boston Globe/REUTERS
