Actually, BD+ is specifically designed so that as soon as one code is cracked, another one can be produced. Basically, now that this sequence has been cracked, Fox will start producing the same movies with a new BD+ security code. Players don't have to be updated to read this new code and those who would try to crack the new discs would have to start all over again. Sure it will take a while for the new code to be released, but it will subsequently delay those who would pirate these films at least temporarily once the new codes are out.
I honestly think the only reason people are cracking this stuff is the same reason that people climb Mt. Everest: Because it's there. Most people I have spoken to who pirate movies don't care about HD-quality video and would rather download a 2GB file as opposed to a 30-50GB file...::shrugs:: Oh well.
