</div>It's more restricted than DVD, though, because compromised BluRay keys can<br>
be disabled in future releases.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>The hacks that have made blu-ray playback are more sophisticated as well. Currently slysoft and some of the guys over at <a href="http://doom9.org">doom9.org</a> have recreated the virtual machine that is used in normal players to decrypt the BD+/AACS. It was cracked completely at that point. They can't fix it by changing or revoking keys. They are pretty much left to finding nuances and loopholes in their proprietary code that they can exploit. Last count I think the blu-ray camp was ahead but I doubt it will last long. And they can only do things about newest releases. All blu-rays released before a month or so ago can be played now.
