Coming soon to a torrent near you--
Hacker claims to have cracked AACS (the Digital Restrictions Management encryption) used by both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.

I guess the half-billion dollars spent (collectively by all the media producers) on protecting their HD content just got entirely flushed down the toilet.
Just think of how many blockbuster movies could have been made with that kind of money (and how much more money they would have MADE if they hadn't wasted it all on copy protection).
Oh, well... Corporate Luddites seem to never learn. It won't matter anyway--by the time any GOOD movies are released in HD [and yes, that is why only B grade movies have been released in HD because the studio heads were afraid that the good stuff would be too easily copied--yet another nail in the coffin for HD content], we'll all have fiber to our doorsteps and ordering movies for instant viewing on demand for much less than the price of a blank HD disk anyway.
Yes, it's true--I predicted these events years ago.
