Analyst Says Blu-ray DRM Safe For 10 Years
Mike writes to let us know that a poster on the AVS forum says that the latest issue of HMM magazine (no link given) contains a quote from Richard Doherty, a media analyst with Envisioneering Group, extolling the strength of the DRM in Blu-ray discs, called BD+. Doherty reportedly said, "BD+, unlike AACS, which suffered a partial hack last year, won't likely be breached for 10 years." He added that if it were broken, "the damage would affect one film and one player." As one comment on AVS noted, I'll wait for the Doom9 guys to weigh in.
There's a lot of quotation involved here.
If this signature is witty enough, maybe somebody will like me.

There's a lot of quotation involved here. There is indeed a lot of quotation going on.

A friend of my cousin's roommate said they read a comment on the wall of a bathroom at an Ohio rest stop that said you should mod the parent comment up.
There you go, fixed that for you.
What it seems like they would be talking about here would be something similar to PKE. Err, no wait that doesn't make sense, must be something like what is used in prox cards with challenge/response...hrm...not that probably isn't what it is.....OH I KNOW! every disk comes with a monkey that kicks you in the balls every time you get the disk near a computer!!
Unfortunately, this alienates most of the Chinese player manufacturing market. But it does have the bonus of coming with a free monkey.
Lets make a movie starring the DRM monkeys and then post it into the intertubes! This would send an inverse monkey (also known as a something awful member) past the event horizon, causing the entire twisted fucked up backwards universe that the movie industry lives in to collapse upon itself!!!

So far on this thread 3 dates have been suggested: 10 days, 2 weeks, and 10 weeks. This sounds like the beginning of a /. poll...
How long do you think it will take for Blu-Ray DRM to be cracked?Ben Hocking
Need a professional organizer?
Naw, DVD Jon's busy playing with the iPhone so it might be three weeks.
...Is that was a statement made 9 years, 11 months and 28 days ago!
The blogger quoted actually had a very keen insight that not only would sony introduce a new standard... but that it would be called BluRay and that the DRM scheme on it is set to be cracked in 3 days!
Well, back to rejecting software patent applications.
It wouldn't be a /. poll without missing options!

Get some cute chick to blow me while I hack and I bet I can crack that shit open in less than a minute.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
Do you know just how smart the guy who invented BD+ was?
Let me put it this way: have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Morons.

10 years is 1011010010 days, including 29 Feb 2008. That sounds about right.

It can't be cracked by a ten year old. We have it in writing now! Quick, look for 9 year old Math PHDs.... All it takes is a hammer and that Blue Ray Disk is cracked up... Seriously though, there's nothing about that piece of plastic which means we can't figure out how it works. Taunting people like this just speeds up the process. Weren't these the same people who used a DRM scheme which crashed MACs and could be defeated by a sharpie?

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris HACK DRM at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Can I quote you on that?

Oh, and I'd keep a close eye on your dog, Rusty, for the next few days. We've noticed some irregularities in his stool.

Thank you, Simone.

upon the advice of my lawyer, i have no sig at this time
Too bad he's from Norway and lives in the US nowadays.
I hope you're the dude who wrote the specs for the Blu-Ray DRM. If you are, I have a feeling it will be cracked soon.
