Blu-ray's DRM crown jewel tarnished with crack of BD+

One advantage that backers of Blu-ray have touted in the format
battle with HD DVD is its extra helping of "unbreakable" DRM called
BD+. It's not unbreakable after all. SlySoft, makers of AnyDVD, have
released a new beta of their AnyDVD HD disc ripping application that
it claims can successfully crack and rip Blu-ray discs protected by
BD+.
That didn't take long. Just last week the company said that a crack
was imminent, with full support for decrypting discs with BD+
protection coming by the end of the year.
According to a SlySoft employee's post in the company forums, the
AnyDVD 6.1.9.6 beta has full support for playback of Blu-ray discs
with BD+. "All available BD+ titles can be copied with AnyDVD ripper,
or can be watched on HTPC without HDCP using PowerDVD 3104 and
AnyDVD," reads Tom's post.
