Floppyhead – Digital Media and Streaming

SlySoft has just released the latest AnyDVD version which beats the latest 4th generation HD-DVD and Blu-ray copy protection MKBv4, which was lauded as being unbreakable.

From Slysoft’s press release:

All that AACS-LA has to offer now is BD+, but even that is on the verge of being circumvented and a release is expected by the end of this year. James Wong, Head of development at SlySoft: “We already found a way to crack BD+ and we have just turned to fine-tuning…”

I honestly do not see a point in time when people are downloading enough HD-DVDs and Blu-ray discs to make an impact the overall market. It makes me wonder what the point is in all this DRM. Especially if someone is able to make a profit off of providing software that cracks it.
