"Despite the best efforts of the Advanced Access Content System (AACS)
Licensing Administration (AACS LA), content pirates remain one step
ahead. A new volume key used by high-def films scheduled for release
next week has already been cracked. The previous AACS volume key was
invalidated by AACS LA after it was exposed and broadly disseminated
earlier this month. The latest beta release of SlySoft's AnyDVD HD
program can apparently be used to rip HD DVD discs that use AACS
version 3. Although these won't hit store shelves until the May 22,
pirates have already successfully tested SlySoft's program with early
release previews of the Matrix trilogy."

Down for the count...

Cheers
Kon
