TweakTown report that HD DVD content protection may have been hacked

[Supergrover]

"So if this software by muslix64 actually works, what does this mean for the movie industry? First of it’s probably going to mean that the HD-DVD standard is set back even longer from becoming mainstream or it could mean the implementation of a completely new content protection system but that could take years and hence doesn’t seem practical. Either way, the team at Blu-ray are probably smiling right now but hoping their next gen standard is not next on the list. In any case and just by reading various forums and discussions around the Net, consumers are quite mad about content protection in next generation HD content and as the age old saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is always a way…” - and the will clearly is to abandon HD-DVD and Blu-ray, show the films makers who is boss or just keep cracking their content protection systems."

Agreed. Blue ray will shine like the prettiest of saphires. No one cares who uses stuff like this but us. People are gonna use blue ray because of its strong points (hi-def, mass storage). But to do this they must eliminate the current standard. I like the story. Now prove it flcl.
