AACS Device Key Found

henrypijames writes "The intense effort by the fair-use community to circumvent AACS (the content protection protocol of HD DVD and Blu-Ray) has produced yet another stunning result: The AACS Device Key of the WinDVD 8 has been found, allowing any movie playable by it to be decrypted. This new discovery by ATARI Vampire of the Doom9 forum is based on the previous research of two other forum members, muslix64 (who found a way to locate the Title Keys of single movies) and arnezami (who extracted the Processing Key of an unspecified software player). AACS certainly seems to be falling apart bit for bit every day now."

You're making that up. To pass video through your VCR, it will not attempt to recognize the signal, decompose it, recompose it, and send it to your television. It'll just be a little switch that passes the signal directly through to your TV. Additionally every television built during your lifetime has multiple inputs. Stop lying.
