Boy! For a format they said would not be cracked,
it did not take them long to crack it,
nor did it take long for companies to make products to crack it with....LOL!
All this BEFORE the formats even were anywhere CLOSE to mainstream! Who else BESIDES the Media Mafia didn't see this coming?
But will the smart intelligent Harvard grads who run these multi-billion dollar businesses who support DRM see the futility and error of their actions...I wouldn't hold my breath.
Could this be an embarrassment for AACS and the media labels who invested in this broken protection?
Is it causing large amounts of annoyance for them?
I certainly hope it is causing much pain, because this is what all this DRM garbage is doing to consumers.
Anything developed by Microsoft is bound to be flawed, when will people learn!
Let's take a look at 2 options here.
option 1) Buy proprietary DRM infected hardware, risk compatibility issues, stability issues and vendor lock-in. Also there is the possibility of encryption keys being revoked, forcing you to buy new hardware again and again from certified vendors, reducing your freedom of choice and making pay pay pay.
Buy DRM infected HD content (e.g. blueray, hddvd), hold your breath and pray that it will work with your current hardware. Might not be a good idea to hold breath.
Oh, and don't forget the media mafia will still think you're doing something criminal, so will force you to watch anti-piracy propaganda.
Frustration, high expenses, NO trust, NO respect, little freedoms, and not allowed to use your legal rights to make a personal backup (may not be legal in your country)!
or
2) buy DRM free hardware, and download DRM free content. Greatly increase your chances of successfully playing HD content first go without a hitch tenfold. Never be forced to watch commercials or anti-piracy garbage before watching your movie. Freedom Freedom Freedom, success, backups and happiness.
