The new generation of DVD's has boasted about their copy protection DRM technology...but alas both HD-DVD and Blue Ray's version of DRM copy protection has been cracked. Both of these hacks were performed by the same coder that goes by the alias of muslix64. Muslix64 has released a 16kb tool that now can be downloaded by millions of user's who want to be able to copy the new generation of high quality DVD's. (Information taken from The Register).This update on the high quality DVD war means that neither side can claim that their DVD's can not be copied. No matter how hard companies try to develop media that can not be easily copied, some bliliant coder such as muslix64 always finds a way to crack the code and then provide the rest of the public with an easy to use copying tool. This incident shows that there is no end in sight to the problems the motion picture and music industries are having with electronic piracy.
