HD-DVD DRM Broken

This thread at Doom9.Org is simply beautiful in showing how a small number of determined individuals can so quickly dissect and disassemble the latest and greatest DRM, AACS. This follows a different assault on AACS back in December by another hacker.

You have to wonder how much the movie industry pays for these DRM systems that are hacked and easily routed around as soon as they become even halfway relevant.

All that money spent screwing over customers with technology that genuine pirates can easily circumvent. Probably the same people green lighting new Ben Affleck movies are sitting in the back thinking “and we’ll protect it from piracy with DRM.”
