HDDVD DRM gets pwned

Round one goes to the hackers: BackupHDDVD rips open AACS - Engadget

Well, the friendly folks at Doom9's Forum finally tracked down that elusive key in memory, and have already started leaking keys for a few HD titles, including nerd-fave Serenity (which has quickly made its way to the torrents), Peter Jackson's King Kong, and the ever-popular 12 Monkeys. It's still unclear at this point how HD DVD's key-revocation technology will affect HD DVD players and their users, and currently there a few playback issues with the ripped HD movies, even on fast machines.

There will always be capable programmers and code crackers opposing the DRM and copyright systems.

Ahh, so they've leaked the keys now... Hehe. I don't have an HDDVD player so it's a no go for me.

Yeah, this is sort of old news. The News Feeder posted it a few weeks ago. Like Bo said, DRM will never be uncrackable as there are plenty of capable programmers that can get past it.

Well, this info is more saying that they've got more keys out to rip the DVD.
