AACS faces another let down
According to ArsTechnica the new volume key used by high-def films scheduled for release next week has already been cracked before it even hits the shops.
The AACS LA had invalidated the previous volume key after it was shared across the Internet. Version 3 will be used on all HD DVDs from now on.
However SlySoft's AnyDVD HD program can apparently be used to rip HD DVD discs that use AACS version 3.
This is known because although Version 3 will not hit the shelves until next week, pirates have already successfully tested SlySoft's program with early release previews of the Matrix trilogy.
It appears that hackers are able to adapt to AACS revisions and is demonstrating a capacity to assimilate new volume keys at a rate which is making the AACS look very silly.
AACS LA chairman Michael Ayers said early this month that the only way his organisation could deal with the problem was by clamping down on key dissemination. The Internet community responded by posting the key everywhere.
