Doom9 Researchers Break BD+
Found on Slashdot on Friday, 31 October 2008
BD+, the Blu-ray copy protection system that was supposed to last 10 years, has now been solidly broken by a group of doom9 researchers. Earlier, BD+ had been broken by the commercial company SlySoft.
Someone from SlySoft posts a hint early in the thread, but then backs off for fear of getting fired. The break is announced on page 15.
Defective by design. By now it should be obvious that all efforts to limit what paying customers can do are doomed. Of course, it's only obvious to everybody but the media industry. Expect new "unbreakable" DRM ideas and solutions for them coming from doom9.
