| 1138020 | 2010-09-18 08:47:00 | What a joke -- I know of several people who copy Blu-Ray discs, so called copy protection - HA! I Was actually at a guys place today, and he was making a "backup" :rolleyes: copy of a Blu-Ray movie he rented earlier on to a blank Blu-Ray disc. |

| 1138021 | 2010-09-18 09:04:00 | Security and copy protection is a fail these days. nothing is safe unless you refuse to release it. They need to make CopyProtection more software based, now that the hardware is cracked old hardware is screwed. no chance of an update otherwise new disks won't work on old players (backup time?) Ah well such is life! Some games like MW2 did it well. it is pretty much sealed up now. after release it got a bit beat up with several cracks but they are all fixed. |

| 1138023 | 2010-09-18 09:39:00 | Kind of backwards IMO. Usually optical media has been developed when a laser capable of reading the density is developed. It went infared, red, green, blue, now we're back to red? Hmm. |

Not quite, BR players can easily be upgraded to run a new copy protection while still allowing the old one. |

| 1138025 | 2010-09-18 12:21:00 | And on related news, the master key for Blu Ray has been discovered. hardware.slashdot.org that slashdot article is very poorly written - HDCP has nothing to do with bluray. HDCP is the copy protection for restricted HDMI feeds. While most bluray players are capable of outputting an HDCP-protected stream, this has nothing to do with the bluray standard, and the biggest impact is in fact on HD cable & satellite feeds. For those interested, the bluray copy protection scheme is AACS. :pf1mobmini: |

Yes BUT if they can still play the old and the new then is extremely easy to extract the new key from the descriptors or software could be used to trick the players firmware into believing it was an old disk therefore allowing the disk to be ripped. If I did it would give each disk a nice bit of firmware that copied to the Bluray player internal mem to check security (using a similar method to 360 disks so its hard to tamper with) once the disc is verified as signed then the drive "unlocks and allows the disk to be played |
