Blu-ray Copy Protection Hacked

The maker of the AnyDVD software, Slysoft, claims to have broken the BD+ advanced copy protection found on Blu-ray discs. Sony said earlier this year that the protection should be good for ten years, but CEO Giancarlo Bettini of Slysoft says that the BD+ hack software should be available from his company by the end of the year. Also notable is the Bettini pointed out that the more restrictions and protections put on software, the lower the sales. But then again, Blu-ray's blowing HD DVD out of the water anyway!
