Firmware update beats Blu-ray hackers
Posted by XanTium | 16-12-2008 0:39 EST

From techradar.com:
[QUOTE]
A new Blu-ray firmware update has fixed a flaw in the format's DRM, which made the discs susceptible to piracy.

The update is for BD+ and makes the format secure once more, after companies like SlySoft, creators of the AnyDVD HD software, bragged about finding a way around the disc's DRM.

Admittedly, someone called James on the SlySoft forums does think that the new update won't hold for long, saying that he "estimates February 2009 for the new BD+ to be defeated."

It's a waste of money, because it always gets defeated. The worse part of it is, they have to pay for R and D on it, so its paid for in the blurays we actually do buy. It sucks.
