D’oh Blu-ray and HD DVD Copy Protection Hacked

D'oh Blu-ray and HD DVD Copy Protection Hacked

Talk about a security hole, Blue-ray and HD DVD Pride themselves on picture quality and the security of the data on the disk. In other words you're not supposed to be able to copy the flicks you rent thanks to DRM stuff. However, a German mag called CT found a somewhat old school way to over ride the copy protection, the dastardly "print screen" button. That's right hacking the secure formats is as easy as pressing a button, albeit repeatedly. that is unless you automate the procedure. Wonder if anyone got fired over that little omission?
