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.

      If you think Spaceballs 1987 is bad, wait until you see Rocky 5000.

    Yeah, we were moving some stuff from the garage to the attic, and ole Rusty got into the Christmas stuff. Why do dogs love to eat those shiny reflective "icicles" anyway? damn cat ate that stuff and ended up with glittering bits off icicle holding a trail of turds that rattled along behind him. A chain of dingle-berry beads strung on a ribbon of silver tinsel. it was lovely.

    unfortunately, poor guy, the stuff cut him all up inside and he's never been the same since. luckily for me, the litter box is the wife's duty, not mine...

    heh heh... duty ... heh heh

    Y'know, despite your trolling, you've really summed up the political discourse of the American right better than anyone else could have.

    "Your a liberal!!111oneone!11" is really all the Republicans are capable of saying.
