Blu-ray's BD+ Encryption Cracked

Unsurprisingly, it is SlySoft who have had a hand in the cracking, so a new version of AnyDVD HD should be available before the new year. Said software will allow the backing up of Blu-ray movies to a hard drive or the direct copy of discs and other similarly nefarious activities.
Of course the $30 software does require a rather more expensive Blu-ray drive to be of any use and if you copy a film you'll pay more for a blank disc than for a 'real' version anyway. On that basis, this will probably stand more as an example of "we told you so" than a real threat to Blu-ray anti-piracy fanatics.
