Volume Unique Keys and Title keys for other discs followed within hours, confirming that software HD-DVD players, like any common program, store important run-time data in memory. Here's a link to decryption utility and sleuthing info in the original doom9 forum thread. The Fair Use crowd has won Round One; now how will the industry respond?"

I really doubt that Blu-Ray is dead or has been killed, but I do think a lot of Sony's recent decisions (Root-Kit, Laptop Battery Fire, Lik-Sang Lawsuit, and PS3 Price) have made many potential consumers very angry.

Ultimately, in 24 months every HD-DVD player will play Blu-Ray movies and the 'format war' will have been a massive waste.
