Have a look through the related thread:

Certainly seems to be cracked.

It seems cracked. But we'll have to wait till rips appear on the net.

The first post indicates someone was able to copy files to a hard drive.

You can copy files off a BD drive, even the encrypted movie files. Drives are designed to allow data to be taken off discs. This is the PS/3 file dump again. No big deal.

So, you think he cracked the encryption with home tools? The NSA is going to make him disappear if that is true.

The one file he "cracked" was a short copyright message warning against copying and quoting the statute in the criminal code . Sort of hilarious if Lionsgate put that on the disc lighty encrypted for the crackers to get.

People can get excited here. But, until an actual movie is put out on the P2P, what you see are people trying to attack it. muslix64 doesn't have a BD drive, so he must rely on people handing him data files. And anyone who knows anything about modern encryption will know he won't be able to crack the movie files.

The movie was Lord of War, but it didn't have any BD+ protection, so I imagine it was very similar to cracking HD-DVD.

It wont happen any time soon. They have not even tryed the BD+ protection yet. It will take them months to crack it...

And those keys most likely dont work.

I thought that BD+ was not yet put on discs??

One poster said, "If they implement BD+, they will lose the war right away for the reasons too obvious to mention." Of course if that were the case then the Blu-Ray group would not have copy protection. (Something I would like to see).

These are obviously kids having their day trying to buck the capitalist system. A few know what they are doing but most are leeches waiting for the info to flow. The leeches are the ones who complain how there is no GUI or are getting an error and don't know what to do. Muslix and his cohorts will be found out. They are no better at trying to stay anonymous than previous pirates. For their sake I hope they are in countries with lax laws on copyrighting.

BD+ is on no BD yet. All the players supposedly have the infrastructure already in them, but no discs have the code yet to run it. So yes, the keys are real and work, and the discs out now will be able to be copied once muslix releases his next version (current version cannot do the entire disc). Its funny that a MS insider poster that AACS will have a press release on monday that they will NOT revoke keys as of yet. Maybe MS went in, since they're part of AACS, and told them to not revoke keys, let the pirating continue so that HD-DVD's name will be in print and online as copyable as to get some movement going. Amir would definitely do something like this. But now that the BD keys have been found, i doubt that will now take place, as im sure Fox will be at the AACS office with a AK47 wanting the keys revoked and changed.

As far as BD+ is concerned, a MS insider on AVS said that once its used, Blu-Ray movies wont play on standard blu-ray players. Right. Just like BD50 is science fiction and Blu-Ray is a MPEG2 format only. We will have to see how this all plays out.
