...and obviously people should believe that some "young hackers geniuses", yep maybe a little baby and his/her friends.. tsk! , "did the trick" and found out a new way to bypass AACS encryption on BD and HD-DVD .. Yeah, sure.

When will IT managers stop playing this silly and pathetic jokes towards customers and simply forget about any keys,protection,encryption thing and sell products at lower prices in the first place with the ability for customers to make as many copies as they want as long as they don't make a profit out of any copy (simply because selling illegit copies and making profit out of it it's the real only and true definition of what pirating is all about).. ?

b) yeah, i actually do believe that this came from hackers and not from any kind of conspiracy. I don't believe it was done in 24 hours and in fact, nobody seems to be claiming that it was.

Looks to me like somebody had been working on this for quite a while simply in order to play back copied discs (as your article mentions). There's no benefit to the hardware or media manufacturers in releases cracks of their own DRM systems.

Maybe the previous commenter would like to go back to David Icke's website and try to be less of a git.
