BD+ Successfully Resealed
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."
I wish they would cut this cracking crap out, I'm getting tired of loading new firmware into my player.
If people would just QUIT f@#$ing jumping on every "latest and greatest" stupid format the MPAA pushes on us we wouldn't have to worry about it. Just dont buy any F@#$ing Blue Ray players, don't buy any F@#$ing blue ray disks! Let the damn thing die a horrible death! I refuse to buy anything blue ray - period! Then we wouldn't have to care whether the BD+ is cracked or not. I don't give a$h!t! Let those greedy F@#$ing bastards keep dumping money into a bottomless pit with DRM. If no one buys their cr@p then maybe, just maybe they will quit doing it - or go out of business (preferable). IF your so worried about "I want the best quality I can see." Then go watch them film the damn movie! You can't get any better than that - it's LIVE!
If I buy a DVD it's off the discount rack - I won't pay full price for a stupid movie! I know it costs them less than $20-$30 to produce the damn thing so I'm not paying full price when they are making at least 200% profit on the thing. Call me a cheapskate - but I'm getting more for my money than some dope paying full price!
The Truth is a Virus!!!
You mean the Acorn Archimedes ?
"Byte" in the context of anything is not well defined. There are 16-bit bytes on some archs, if I recall correctly.
