FOX Abandoning Blu-ray?

With the exception of the upcoming release of Night At The Museum, all upcoming FOX Blu-ray titles have been removed from their release schedule.

But HD DVD fans hoping that this marks an abandonment by FOX of the format or, better yet, an indication that FOX may be moving over to the HD DVD side of things, need to take a deep breath. It's not going to happen.

The real truth behind FOX's move is a concern over DRM (Digital Rights Management) and the copyright protection currently being applied to Blu-ray releases. The current method, AACS (Advanced Access Content System), has already had its code cracked by a number of online hackers, and FOX is reportedly holding out for additional copyright encryption protection to be put in place.

That new protection will be coming soon, in the form of BD+, which doesn't replace AACS, but works as an additional form of protection for Blu-ray discs - a program that evaluates the security enviroment of the player the disc is being played on and authorizes play of the disc each time it is used. BD+ technology also allows the studio to update encryption on future releases...meaning that if a certain code gets "cracked" by hackers, the studios can update with new encrypted codes on their future Blu-ray titles.

Once BD+ is finalized and begins to be added as an additional form of copyright protection on Blu-ray releases, expect FOX to return full-steam into the Blu-ray game.


Now the question is, when is BD+ going to be finalized?

I have read that it will not be ready till the end of the year, is that true?
