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".

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.

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.
