Blu-ray protection is completely defeated



Sony will not have much time for celebration of victory in 'war of formats' over HD DVD.
Slysoft, notorious software developer situated in Antigua reported that Blu-ray protection has been defeated. Right now AnyDVD HD application by Slysoft offers non-encrypted access to Blu-ray content, allowing saving content from disk to local hard drive, copying or transcoding HD movies and viewing without DRM-compatible hardware.

As you may remember, HD-DVD protection was cracked 1 year ago. Blue-ray was promising more crack-proof protection to Hollywood with their own DB+ protection scheme. This promise was a leading factor in supporting Blu-ray and HD downfall. "Movie studios which moved to Blu-ray probably supported it prematurely" - said news releaser of Slysoft, after presenting AnyDVD HD. Source
