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."

Miserable?

[Frosty Piss]

There is simply no way they're going to come up with a DRM scheme that isn't going to make life miserable for the average consumer

I'm not sure what you mean. I buy / rent a movie, put it in my player, and it works fine. Never had a problem. But then, I'm not trying to do something with it that I shouldn't, like copying it when the purchase agreement clearly says I'm not suppose to... Over all, every DVD I've ever used has worked as advertised. I'm not "miserable" at all...

Fair-use community?

Is that waht they call crackers and pirates these days?
