The latest version of the copyright protection technology used on
high-definition HD-DVD movies has been allegedly cracked a week before its
official release.
The latest volume key, which will be released with new movies next week, has
already been cracked by Slysoft, makers of the popular cracking and copying
tools AnyDVD, AnyDVD HD and Clone2DVD.
According to the company's forum site, pirates have successfully hacked the
latest version of AACS
(Advanced
Access Content System), after getting hold of some pre-release versions of
the forthcoming Matrix Trilogy movies.
Just three weeks ago, the
licensing
authority for AACS was forced to invalidate the existing volume key
protecting HD-DVD movies after it was cracked and posted around the internet.
The authority has since embarked on a legal war against
websites and bloggers who posted the crack but it's
largely accepted that it's too late. As a result, version 3 of AACS is due out
next week and was supposed to fix the problem.
The Licensing Authority has neither confirmed nor denied the claims yet, but
it looks likely that the latest patch to AACS will need a patch of its own.
