DVD Security Group Says It Has Fixed AACS Flaws
SkillZ wrote to mention an article at the IBT site discussing a fix to the security breech of the HD DVD and Blu-ray media formats. "Makers of software for playing the discs on computers will offer patches containing new keys and closing the hole that allowed observant hackers to discover ways to strip high-def DVDs of their protection. On Monday, the group that developed the Advanced Access Content System said it had worked with device makers to deactivate those keys and refresh them with a new set."
Is that like a chastity belt? Or maybe an adult diaper?

Actually, it'll end when they run out of keys to revoke. AFAICT, the set is finite.

Oh, a lesson in history from Mr. I'm my own grandpa.
It seems that both is basically security through obscurity, and that has not worked very well in the future.
Ahh, I see you have already attended the time travel seminar that will be held in two weeks.

Which is why I gave up on that, and use Windows for two things: DVDDecrypter and Garmin MapSource. And DVDShrink. I use Windows for three things, DVDDecrypter, DVDShrink, Garmin MapSource, and Dungeon Keeper II....
I really need to get a comfy chair.
The expensive DVD player from Sony now sits in the kitchen and occasionally plays a normal music CD, when there is nothing in the FM worth listening to.
So, runnning 24/7/365, how long does a Sony DVD player work?
