BD+ Successfully Resealed

Posted by Soulskill on from the effort-vs.-reward dept.

IamTheRealMike writes "A month on from the story that BD+ had been completely broken, it appears a new generation of BD+ programs has re-secured the system. A SlySoft developer now estimates February 2009 until support is available. There's a list of unrippable movies on the SlySoft forums; currently there are 16. Meanwhile, one of the open source VM developers seems to have given up on direct emulation attacks, and is now attempting to break the RSA algorithm itself. Back in March SlySoft confidently proclaimed BD+ was finished and said the worst case scenario was 3 months' work: apparently they underestimated the BD+ developers."

    If you have access to a network or external drive ... than why not use your single BR drive on that network or as external drive ?
    You're just looking for excuses to allow cracking of copyrighted material.
    Let's try this approach:
    I don't want to spend x$ for y -> then don't buy it.

    Yeah, great idea! Punish those pondscum copyright mafiaa types for their insidiously evil attacks on personal freedoms and human culture by giving them money. They'll put collect it all into a huge pile of gold, put it into a hedge fund and wake up one day to find they've lost the lot. That'll show 'em!
