Blu-ray Cracked (allegedly)

A company called SlySoft claims to have cracked Blu-rays copyright protection system.

They also say that the development was made a while ago but that they were waiting to see the outcome of the HD-DVD vs Blur-ray war.

Now that the war is over, SlySoft say they have cracked the software that sony said would be uncrackable for at-least ten years. Sony themselves, have not yet commented.

BD+ is supposed to be able to react to attacks on it's system, in some cases locking discs and making them unuseable, but SlySoft say they are ready for this as well. They claim the latest version of their software 'AnyDVD' can now make 'backup security copies' of any DVD.

It remains to be seen if these claims are true.
