Seriously, not everyone lives on that overrated continent. The world is a lot bigger than North America, and on most of it you can use this hack without any legal consequences (as long as you own the original movie, off course).
The whole system of title/player keys simply will never work. Once HD-DVD/Blu-Ray gets popular, an online database will be created and hosted inside a country with no laws about cryptographic keys. People can upload and download title/player keys for their modified HD-DVD player/PC. I can even imagine that a piece of software will be available for the PC which will download the correct key(s) once you insert an original/copied HD-DVD, which will be used to play the disc. It also might even be possible to automatically upload the correct keys from original HD-DVD discs so others can use them.
If the title key gets banned, who cares? As long as you have the key, you can play it. If the key of your player gets banned (and newer titles won't play anymore), simply upload a new player key into the firmware/software. Just wait until cheap HD-DVD/Blu-Ray players from China will arrive pre-loaded with keys which come from expensive Philips/Sony players.
HD-DVD AACS DRM Cracked?
