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.
    There is indeed a lot of quotation going on. There is indeed a fuck of lot of quotation going on. I'm sick of all this fucking quotation, aren't you?
