| AACS is designed to be crackable But only on individual devices. New film discs can contain revocation list to revoke the license of those cracked devices. The strength of AACS is not that it is not crackable but individual devices can be revoked and each manufacturers use different keys. | |

The strength of AACS is not that it is not crackable but individual devices can be revoked and each manufacturers use different keys. I see, so they are going to disable my device. I believe that is called sabotage and vandalism. If they do that I think you will start seeing a large number of device returns to the manufacturer.
A revocation list on new discs is essentially a trojan horse on each new DVD.
Oh, and what are they going to do when the device revocation list takes up half the disc? That is complete stupidity. | |

Fair Use doctrine. I didn't give them "Fair Use" of my DVD device, did I? Can't claim a "EULA" or "TOS" since there are NONE in the DVD I bought. | |

Alexandria, VA | correct.by design any DRM must be crackable, otherwise they wont be playable, is a matter of keys. previous MS DRM used fixed keys, this new design will allow them to change as needed. | |

| if i made home electronics and someone in my company leaked codes causing 100s of devices to not work right due to the blacklist. not only would that worker be fired but id sue the movie companies for the cost of every returned TV, DVD Player and Tuner that was returned because of this. could probally win too in a non California court that is less media friendly.

In order to make such electronics, you have to sign license agreement with them to get your private key. Guess what will be in the license agreement you signed away? | |
