Not more than two months after discovering a means to extract the HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc "volume keys" to decrypt AACS DRM on individual films, we're now getting word that DRM hacker arnezami has found the "processing key" used to decrypt the DRM on all HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc films. Let's break this down for what it is: instead of needing individual keys for each and every high-definition film -- of which there are many -- the processing key can be used to unlock, decrypt, and backup every HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc film released so far."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/down-with-drm.jpg" /> <br /><br />So much for "unbreakable" DRM! I suspect there will be a sizable number of high definition movie torrents popping up on the 'net within a matter of days. This game of cat and mouse needs to end. Nobody's winning, and the consumer ends up the sore loser.
