Analyst Says Blu-ray DRM Safe For 10 Years

Posted by kdawson on from the words-ripe-for-the-eating dept.

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.

    A link to a forum that quotes a magazine quoting a guy... something doesn't seem right here.


    There's a lot of quotation involved here.

    I already cracked it. I'm just waiting for them to release something with BD+ so I have something to decrypt.

    You know what would be freaky... A slashdot article quoting a slashdot article. It wouldn't just be a dupe, it would be a recursive dupe.

    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.
