Slashdot Mirror
Blu-ray BD+ Cracked
An anonymous reader writes "In July 2007, Richard Doherty of the Envisioneering Group (BD+ Standards Board) declared: 'BD+, unlike AACS which suffered a partial hack last year, won't likely be breached for 10 years.' Only eight months have passed since that bold statement, and Slysoft has done it again. According to the press release,
the latest version of their flagship product AnyDVD HD can automatically remove BD+ protection and allows you to back-up any Blu-ray title on the market."
Its not really details of how it works, its a FBI sting to get people that are intent on learning 'forbidden knowledge".
---- Booth was a patriot ----
It was eight months ago. The crowd he delivered his statement to doesn't have that kind of attention span.

If they can patch it we can re/unpatch it. Once the VM ends up being cracked we can do whatever we like with it, like install Linux on it.
There is no "disagree" moderation, and troll, flamebait and overrated are not valid substitutes
Install Linux in Java, on a BD player? Isn't that like putting Jiffy-Pop in the microwave, outside of a supernova?

"we can do whatever we like with it, like install Linux on it."

We have a winner.
The truth about Led Zep should never be told on
The blue ray encryption geniuses should read my subject line over and over and over and over.

We have a winner. I call for a slashdot version of the Godwin; any technical thread on the viability of any technology is over the moment anyone claims something to the effect of "... We could install Linux on it!"
However, asking "... does it run on Linux?" is still fair game.
If I mod you up, it doesn't necessarily mean I agree with what you've said, sorry.
What I want to do is get an HD DVD burner (this is very hard BTW), a lot of blank media, and a Blu-ray drive, and then buy Blu-ray movies and convert them into HD DVDs. That way I'd really be sticking it to the man. Yeah. Wooo! You know it!
Erm. Ok. It's probably the stupidist idea ever, but what the hell.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
So we're having a low-UID pissing contest . . . but in reverse???
I haven't tried a BD+ disc yet. I purchased Gattaca yesterday, but I haven't tried to watch it yet.
I have, and just a warning for you. The BD+ DRM on the Gattaca disc requires a blood sample for DNA scan.

Actually, I think the whole meme reads as such :
- Information wants to be free
- Entertainment wants to be paid
- You just want to be cheap
After 3 days without programming, life becomes meaningless

>if you create a good enough dare, people will take you up on it, just to prove you wrong.
That's sounds like a dare to me.
The surprise isn't how often we make bad choices; the surprise is how seldom they defeat us.
