Blu-ray BD+ cracked and ready to burn

I think Giancarlo should work on his english a little bit...

In the end, whatever can be encrypted can be decrypted. If a piece of hardware can do it, then a computer can often do it too. However, rather then just copying (which I'm not interested in, because I don't want to have to buy discs), I'd be more interested in them using this breakthrough to allow people to use the movies they purchased as they want to. Transcode it to their iPod. Watch it on their 2 year old VGA LCD monitor from their computer. It seems strange to me that they would put so many chains around the portion between the computer and te monitor when it was obvious from the beginning that that wasn't the weakest point.

As I was saying, I would like to think that this break through will be used to increase the way that paying customers can use their movies.

"I think Giancarlo should work on his english a little bit.."

- I reckon so.

Is "reckons" the author's favorite word?

maybe if they can get backups to run seamlessly, people would actually buy ps3 hardware!

Unfortunately, this would probably only result in Sony being sued by the RIAA as providing hardware that encourages piracy. As no one clearly buys the PS3 to play purchased games.

Except for the fact that Sony BMG are in bed with the RIAA anyways, so they'd probably end up suing themselves in the clusterfunk that is most modern corporate lawsuits... You know what WAS awesome but? The fact that you can buy a HD-DVD drive that will work natively on any Vista machine for 1/2 the price of the cheapest Blu-Ray player on the market.....

/me goes to hug his Xbox 360

Maybe you should learn Italian instead.

Jeunas - how's your German? With comments like this it'd better be pretty good!

The RIAA has what jurisdiction over video game piracy? Or Video piracy either, which was what the article was about. In case you weren't aware, the RIAA deals with music, not video games and movies

" I think Giancarlo should work on his english a little bit..."

I think Jeunas should be careful when talking about someones english skills, when his English skills obviously aren't up to the task of writing about English skills.

His comment was translated into German and back into English (by me) so came out a bit dodgily. Here's the original quotation: "I wonder when people will understand that more restrictions, pressure and protections that prevent things from
working won't generate more but less revenue."

I think you're looking for the MPAA 
correct me if i'm wrong but aren't they in bed with the RIAA as well
not like sony just does music or videos or consoles or tvs or cd players

maybe we'll get a PIAA for the plastics industry when 3D printers become more affordable...

@Terje:
Replace "...someones english skills..."
With "...someone's English skills..."
and you might have a point.

Sorry to be so pedantically pedantic! ;)

In other news: I am willing to bet that Giancarlo's English is much better than our collective Italian. The odds are also in Giancarlo's favor that his German is much better than ours.

Giancarlo Bettini speaks better English than you speak Italian, I may say.

And I am not Italian, neither English. So my English might need improvement.

The main thing is that every protection the manufacturer invest, will be, sooner or later, overcomed. And that the river never goes up. If they lower the prices no protection is needed, because all people like to be legal, unless they are forced to.
