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."

Then bandwith grew -- 28.8 gave way to 56.6 gave way to 128kbps and then on to broadband -- initially 700kbps or thereabouts, today typically 2-4Mbps in the USA, 5 - 25 mbps in Norway. Just FYI. My broadband provider here in the ~350,000 person metro area in a mostly rural section of the midwest USA doesn't offer anything lower than 3Mbps and will go as high as 10Mbps.
