Let's all hope so, and hope they don't "wait to see if it proves itself," or some crap like that. I NEED Man on Fire on BD!

Wow, this thing blew up out of nowhere!

How is this all different from what the guys at doom9 had done a month or two ago?

More recently, a method was discovered using an HD DVD drive for an Xbox 360 to partially bypass the AACS system - you do not even need to have the encryption key to copy the disc content. This, Josh claims, indicates that future applications could 'bypass the system completely, meaning any key change would have zero effect on the drive's ability to read and copy media'.

MKB = Media Key Block
Process MKB = Subset-Difference Tree system
Km = Media Key
Kvu = Volume Unique Key
Encrypted Key = Encrypted Title Key
Kt = Title Key

The Volume ID is the thing they got from the drive. They do that by allowing the player software to handshake with the drive, and they pull the retrieved value using an application and modified drive firmware.

As you can see, the VID is one step of the chain leading to obtaining the title key(s). In itself it can't unlock content.

The only time they bypassed AACS was when they pulled the title keys directly from memory of the software player.

Heh, and here I thought the question was half joking.

I should have known better.
