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."

heh... waiting to buy until you could create backups.... right.

because of my 200 disc DVD library, I've backed-up so many of them. in fact, if I couldn't make backups, there's no way I would have bought DVD's. /sarcasm

Let's be honest, this is good for only two reasons:
(1) the legit side: ripping movies to a media server of some sort for use in your home. (maybe even just as a "backup" archive.) (2) the non-legit side: making copies of movies for your friends, making perfectly clean BlueRay torrents, getting movies you didn't pay for, etc.

I'm all for #1. #2, not so much. But to each his own.
