DVD-Audio's CPPM Circumvented

Posted by timothy on from the everything-that-rises-must-converge dept.

Bodysurf writes "After DVD-Video's CSS encryption was broken in 1999, the music industry chose a much more secure copy-protection method for DVD-Audio called Copy Protection for PreRecorded Media (CPPM). This protection scheme has remained publicly uncracked, but it was circumvented recently, providing the ability to save the unencrypted digital audio data. CDFreaks has the details."

    That is right! Even if it means we have to kill every single one of you mother....

    Oh, wait, all we did was hack their encryption. Nevermind....

    > I'm a little surprised--why did it take so long for someone to do this?

    because it wasn't until last week that someone actually bought a DVD-Audio disk

    Anyhoo, this is good news.

    Now I can rip this stuff off to 64K MP3, then convert it over to Real, and finally through to it's final form as a DRM'ed WMA. ;)
