CES 2008: LionsGate exec agrees Blu-ray copy protections won't stop pirates

article published on 10 January, 2008

In an interview from CES with Don Reisinger, the CEO of LionsGate said his company's decision to back Blu-ray over HD DVD was a simple matter of its improved anti-piracy measures. But when pressed later he admitted that the best anti-piracy measure is selling a product people want to buy. While it's refreshing to see a studio head owning up to the importance of Blu-ray's additional copy ... [ read the full article ]

OMG who cares about DRM! It always gets hacked and everyone is happy. Actually, it's already been hacked! So the players are still locked. Oh well. Wait. Do any of you people even have a BR burner?

Bunch'a pirates...

We worry because we like our freedoms, because if the DRM industry gains more momentum i will be a crime to circumvent it becuse they bought some shiny new laws.....

as for BR writers...its simple :No because its to slow and to costly.

It's simply an ignorant lie to pretend that all DRM gets hacked in anything like a useful time-frame.

Go look at the UK's Sky satellite digital TV service encryption.

It's been working uncracked since 2001 and most think it will never be cracked (and given the millions of subscribers across Europe it's not as if there wouldn't be a huge demand for a cracked card - just like there was with the old analogue service which was successfully cracked).

With BD+ as it currently stands you cannot rip movies.
Even the HDMI capture method (which costs quality) is very simple to close off.

Well when Direct TV shut everybody down Dish Net and Bell got hacked in no time at all... Took like a couple months.

Once they finally shut us down again people will probably give another try for Direct TV and Star Choice. From what I've heard Star Choice is hacked but it's really really quiet... I can't find anything on it. My cousin was telling me that he had a friend that had a Star Choice receiver hacked so it could accept the signal. He said that you had to add something to the motherboard and you would have to change something every time it went down.

Things get hacked when they need to. Nobody is hacking DTV or anything because everybody is happy with DN, BEV and some european one. I think the same applies for Blu-Ray. It isn't that popular still so no one sees a major need for it to be messed around with at the moment.

Slysoft will break all protection in its way. It's as simple as that :)
