HD-DVD Possibly Cracked

It seems that nothing is “unbreakable”. Take HD-DVDs. They and Blu-Ray discs are using AACS Copy Protection and was deemed “unbreakable”. Well, a fella by the name of muslix64 has found a way to go around that copy protection.
Here’s a direct quote from the more info section of the YouTube video:
I was not aware of anyone having done that, so I did.
Have a look.
The AACS copy protection system is realy Unbreakable!
The program is a simple implementation of the aacs crypto protocol freely available on the net. No reverse engineering!
Stay tuned for source code soon!
Merry Christmas everyone!
In the more info section he even went as far as to supply a rapidshare URL to download the source code file named “BackupHDDVD.zip” which weighs in at 17KB. Download it at your own risk though if you decide to experiment.
