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."

    Remember who we are dealing with here. These people take old pensioners and small children to court over the flimsiest of evidence... they dont have much of a Public image left to lose.

    But if you don't buy enough of their product, the Merch turns into the Flash Reaper, and goes from house to house collecting torsos.

    On the other hand, if you do buy their product, then the Merch imparts some keen insight, and somebody's father gets fucked.

    Don't you want somebody's father to get fucked? Do you really want your torso to be collected by the Flesh Reaper?

    Atari must be doing really bad after releasing NWN2 to start hacking DRM keys.

    So, of course; don't buy them. Tell your friends not to buy the, and spread the word.

    But then the Merch will turn into the Flesh Reaper and start collecting torsos!

    If technology was selected based on worth and merit, we'd all have been using beta-max and mini-discs. But consumers don't always go for quality, innovation or convenience.

    What the hell? Minidisc absolutely sucks. It's not a good example of a quality product.

    Now, if you were to start a large-scale boycott of xxAA products? That would rock the boat. But I'm not holding my breath for you.

    Sigh. Didn't I already mention the torsos?
