People who distribute warez piss me off, as they force the studios to come up with even more draconian forms of copy protection that punish innocent people like us. I think we all saw this coming though, and maybe this will help persuade the studios to start moving towards HD-DVD.

Actually the article said something that made me chuckle. That the file was being distributed on `Linux Warez Groups`.

Linux Wares Groups? How does a FOSS platform have Warez Groups??

Knock-on-wood...How long before we see a report about the XBox 360 HD-DVD add-on being used to rip HD-DVDs?

I know, and the thought of that scares the crap out of me. However, let's hope that the media get's too busy blitzcreiging this issue on Blu-ray, and forgets about HD-DVD.

Oh oh,,,Microsoft is involved,,,I see a kazillion "security updates" coming at the Xbox HD users!!

GLOW

Old news and who cares? Dumping a disc is nothing. Remember, when AACS is cracked, HD DVD will die. Blu-ray however will live on. Thank god for BD+!

It's not Microsoft's fault that 98% of hackers out there have a hatred for Microsoft and are always finding ways to hack and do some illegal stuff. I don't understand why people blame Microsoft, when they are the ones that try to fix up such holes when exposed in a reasonable amount of time. If these 98% of hackers started devoting their meager lives to start hacking MacOS, i'm pretty sure you'd hear about a lot of security problems.

There also wouldn't be a kazillion security updates to the Xbox, and there hasn't been a single one yet.

P.S., I don't care whether you voted for Bush or not.

Its not even that they hate Microsoft - its that they want to have the biggest impact. How do you do that? Target the largest majority. That would be MS in the computing space.

mshulman

Are you a movie exec?

If not, why do you care so much about the encryption? I don't think its anything consumers should worry about at all. We should let them worry about it and worry about PQ/AQ, cost..etc. We should also be concerned about flexibility with our formats. I know HD-DVD is a bit more flexible with rights - I'm not sure how that applies yet though..

You obviously don't have a clue how AACS works.

You're right, but could you please you tell me how my statement was inaccurate? I just repeated what Andy Parsons, my hero, said.

Are you referring to watermarking? Do you not think AACS will eventually be cracked?

It's a good first step, I guess... Wake me up when they've actually decrypted it and burned it onto a BD.

Eventually yes...I don't think Hollywood and CE manufacturers can keep AACS unblemished.
