Work Around for New DVD Format Protections
An anonymous reader writes "For the new Blu-ray and HD-DVD formats, Hollywood implemented a complete copy protection scheme; almost everything has to be encrypted and authenticated. Despite the crypto-stuff in Advanced Access Content System and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, they left the backdoor wide open — they forgot about the PrintScreen button. Using this function you can create exact digital copies of a film picture-by-picture and reassemble them into a stream."

Let's hope they don't take our entire keyboard to protect their stuff from the thieves...
how long until

If you spill soda in the exact spot right under the Print Screen button, it becomes much easier.

Not if you script it.
Alternatively you can "script" a sufficient number of those little slave hands instead of using them top make "Action Man" figures for Tesco.
In either case, there are not that many frames in a movie. Even if you use "slaves" it will take less than 500£ to recover all frames in Lord of the Rings this way somewhere in the middle of nowhere in China.

Splitting hairs, maybe, but Hollywood would have trouble implementing a flush toilet.
What a shame, with all the crap they come up these days they would sure have good use for it.
