HD-DVD, BluRay DRM Further Compromised
Engadget notes that DRM hacker 'arnezami' over at the Doom9 forums has found the "processing key" used to decrypt the DRM on all HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc films. "Let's break this down for what it is: instead of needing individual keys for each and every high-definition film -- of which there are many -- the processing key can be used to unlock, decrypt, and backup every HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc film released so far." The war on keeping pirated HD content out of the hands of broadband users isn't going very well so far -- the only thing holding back increased HD piracy is bandwidth.
