Controversial DVD decryption firm
SlySoft
may already have broken the 'unbreakable' BD+ protection afforded to Blu-ray
discs.
The company's latest release of
AnyDVD
HD software comes with support for full HD-DVD and Blu-Ray movie discs.
Until now, AnyDVD software was only capable of cracking Blu-ray's older AACS
(Advanced Access Content System) security which is also used by the HD-DVD camp.
But BD+ is a new layer of security exclusive to Blu-ray.
So far only The Day After Tomorrow and Fantastic Four: Rise of
the Silver Surfer have contained the BD+ layer.
SlySoft's BD+ cracking code is not thought to be fully implemented in the
latest release of AnyDVD HD, but some users claim that it does work.
A user on the SlySoft forum known as 'manixx' said of Fantastic
Four: "I am backing up my second copy as I tex, it plays fine on my ps3 as
well. I guess the sky's the limit, no problem did anyone else have this success?
"
SlySoft is based in Antigua, where it can apparently get away with creating
software that directly breaches Digital Millennium Copyright Act and EU
Directive copy protection laws.
