Blu-ray has officially been cracked

It took a surprisingly long time to do it but someone finally decrypted the HDCP master key. Blu-ray discs can now be unlocked an copied. Interesting stuff. I wonder what effect it will have on the industry and I wonder if people will start pirating them now.

I thought this has been done for a while now. Their are plenty of ripped bluray movies available for torrenting/pirating. Whats the difference between this and the hdcp being cracked?

Maybe it's a lot easier to do now because you don't have to crack each Blu-ray individually?

well...thats er greatt

Meh, no matter to me. I don't try to steal things from companies. As a software developer, it makes me kind of mad that people are so eager to steal. More work goes into ripping off legitimate companies than goes into real progress.

Talk about late lol.

This has been done ever since Blu Ray discs have been out.

my friend been downloading bluray torrents since last year, so this is pretty old and i'm not really worried about it because how many people actually know how to use it and blu rays are bigger than dvd's in size so ehh instead of going through all the trouble to get it for free why not go and throw down 20 bucks and support the people behind the movies.

Bah - just buy the movies.

They're not expensive. It's not like those crazy expensive Laserdiscs from back in the day.
