Slysoft re-cracks BD+
SLYSOFT HAS DONE IT again with their highly recommended AnyDVD HD product. The new version 6.5.0.2, announced today, breaks the new revision of the unbreakable BD+.
For those of you not following this one-sided fight, Blu-Ray movies do a lot of very unfortunate things, like stripping your fair use rights, preventing backups (no one has kids or pets that maul disks), being incompatible with boatloads of hardware, and transmitting every viewing, every click, and every thing you do back to who-knows-where to be used against you. Really, they do that, why do you think net access is mandatory?
Slysoft was the first to fully crack the old encryption scheme over a year ago.
A few weeks ago however, a new revision of BD+ came out that was not crackable with the current schemes. A fix was estimated at a few months, but never doubt the good folk at Slysoft, they did it in a few weeks.
Order is restored in the universe, and you can watch your legally purchased BDs on your legally purchased equipment, even if the DRM schemes don't like each other. No more black screens with AnyDVD HD. If you are looking to pirate, this is not your product - it is much easier to download pre-cracked files.
In any case, you can read all about the program. I would need to grow more thumbs to give it any higher praise. Go out and buy this if you haven't already. µ

Mr. D. got to the *second* para before losing it, everyone is so proud.
No it isn't. I've got a blu-ray player and it's gone no-where near my internet connection and it still works.
If I want to update the firmware I can do that by burning the firmware to a blank cd and shoving that into the disc drive.
Still, hooray for Slysoft though. Good effort.
Well it might just be that you and your friends are geeky? Normal people have kids or have family functions or SOMETHING in which case something goes missing or gets destroyed. I just regularly misplace things in general. I'd rather have everything on my PC rather than have disks. I lose disks, scratch disks, have relatives kids come over and destroy them, people steal them at parties, generally nothing ever good comes from disks for me. If I want to ensure the longevity of having something I want it on a hard drive since I know my desktop isn't going too far.
They will be moving away from FREE LIFETIME updates to a yearly SUBSCRIPTION starting January 1st; if you are willing to buy the program then now is the time!
Just wait till you have kids.
I don't know how they do it. You give them a new CD, they take it out of the case and in the blink of an eye it is scratched to useless.
Now I open the case, make a copy which they can use to their hearts content (about a week) and the original goes in a filing cabinet.
article talks about the new BD+ being net compulsory, not the old bd standard...
and on this aspect, is correct fool
Yeah, there are 2 versions of "backups". I do both. Having said that, I have a ton of game and music discs that are scratched and won't work, because of people that never handled LP's..
Further, when you buy a video product, and it won't run on a DRM-approved system, well, I don't like that.
Let Sony play their little game, I still won't buy any of their product. Funny how much Sony memory sticks cost more than other media.
[...] No Internet connection is required for BD+ to operate.

Thanks for your response to my comment bovine
Unfortunately I think you might be confusing BD+ with 'BD Live'. BD-Live requires a profile 2.0 player in order to work, and an internet connection to access the BD Live content on the disc.
BD+ is a copy-protection technology but does not require the Blu-ray player to be connected to the internet.

......and I also have a case full of legal DVD's that can no longer be viewed because of scratches and candy stuck to some of them. I don't pirate anything so as long as I'm the one watching DVD's that I have backed up, after legitimately paying for them, whose concern is it?
People dropping dead in the streets because they can't pay a hospital, old people going hungry to pay for medication, homeless children sleeping under bridges and public schools that have turned out an entire generation of brainless idiots.....doesn't the U.S. have more important things to do than worry about an honest person backing up their DVD or should all of us be collectively punished because a small minority copy for commercial reasons?
but I am professionally careless, and just recently I bought my fave Orbital cd for the third time, this time, I made a copy and put it away. I also have a car, discs lie about on the floor and so on...
Speaking as a media company shareholder and a owner of every Slysoft product made. KEEP COPYING!
9 out of 10 times you would be correct in the statement that a media pirate was never going to buy your product anyway.
DRM eliminated "fair use" rights and is anti-consumer. I WANT CONSUMERS TO FEEL SAFE IN THEIR PURCHASES!
Media companies need to stop wasting money on DRM and start using that money to go after REAL pirates who are actually selling copies for profit.
Leave Ma and Pa Kettle alone!
Thanks Charlie and Slysoft,
Thanks to Charlies recommendation, I purchased AnyDVD and CloneDVD from Slysoft about a year ago. The wisest two purchases I have ever made!! These programs do what they say and do it very well. Keep up the great work!
