Last week a process key was found which may unlock all high-def movie discs; this week, SlySoft's AnyDVD HD offers drag-and-drop copying of HD DVD movie discs.
Last week, news began circulating (and the AACS confirmed) that a process key had been discovered, potentially breaking the AACS content protection scheme used in existing HD DVD and Blu-ray movie titles wide open. This week, Antigua's SlySoft aims to capitalized on the market to "back up" HD DVD titles with its new AnyDVD HD software, enabling even non-technical computer users to strip AACS protection from movies, and even remove unwanted content like advertisements, trailers, and warnings.
"Officially, the film industry and the AACS consortium is, of course, not very happy about this development," SlySoft said in a release. "However, behind closed doors, they are likely pleased to have learned from past experiences with the CD and DVD that the users are now finally able to make unlimited use of this new medium HD DVD, i.e to enjoy his 'fair-use rights.' It is expected that a real 'boom' will occur with HD-DVDs."
We imagine lawyers are breaking out the dynamite right now.
