This is awesome haha.... though it took me 2 weeks to download an hd-dvd so I don't really envision this as the end of the retail market for them. (It's nice to learn your computer is or isn't fast enough to decrypt them without dropping the $)
Lets be fair though, DVD John CRACKED dvds, he broke the algorithm used to decrypt them. Here they have only revealed a flaw in the implementation, they have not cracked AACS. All they did was show how shitty some well paid programmers really are. Funny stuff.
Can this key be revoked or are they totally screwed?
