Possible Blu-ray title/volume key exploit *maybe* found on PS3

This hasnt been confirmed by many people, but 3 have said theyv'e done it.

As you know HD-DVD was 'hacked'. Using title/volume keys of HD-DVD releases it's possible to backup the movie on your PC HDD. A similar hack should be possible for Blu-ray as it uses the same AACS system. HDTVblogger.com now claims there's a way to retrieve title/volume keys of Blu-ray discs with the PS3:

I have received numerous (more than 3) independent reports that an exploit has been found on the PS3 that will reveal the title/volume keys for Blu-ray disks using a PS3. The procedure involves some minor modding of the boot process and Linux.

I have not been told of the exact process but the information makes it seem that the process is not that difficult once you know what you are doing and the lengthy steps are duplicated.

Surely they must realize, by now, that whatever they ever come out with - EVER - there will always be some1 in a bedroom somewhere that will always find a way of copying it ?

These people need to look forward more in terms of their techology advances rather than trying to kid themselves.

Who knows what technologies for "TV" or cinematics film storage are being held back over the thoughts of how they`re going to stop people from copying the media.
 
Yea seriously, all this copyright crap and anti-pirating is going over board. And now that this is out, they will probably stop tech to try and stop this too.

A company does have a right to protect it's intellectual property and investment.

Yea, I agree with PV. If you created something, would you want people to steal it and make copies of it that you don't want them to be making?
 
I cant speak for software but on music if somebody downloaded my bands music id be flatterd. Some things just arent about money and greed. Where DVDs are concernd i believe they make enough money in theaters to counteract what gets pirated. (In this case Blu-Ray movies)

Your argument is a little flawed mate. If you are a fledgling band trying to make a name for yourself and accrue a fan base, then of course you wouldn't be fussed. Many bands trying to make a name for themselves make their music available for free download. If you had deadlines to meet, staff to pay, bank managers to keep happy with your overdraft or loan repayments...I think you wouldn't be so eager to give away your profit.
 
If your not in the music business then you wouldnt understand. And if you make it big from just playing you wouldnt have any debts so it wouldnt matter. If say, were big and created a DVD then i would expect to see some income from that cause it cost money to create. But being the computer person i am (and all the other band members i have) we would expect piracy and accept it as not a big deal. Same goes for some big bands i know. They dont care cause they dont look at it as stealing, they look at it as somebody just wanting to listen to your music. You get your money mostly from shows, not really record sales. Cause after all the legal crap and record label takings you get not much royalties.
 
That makes no sense. Someone has to pay for the recording studio and the ton of people it takes to produce the CD. On a small scale its fine but when a band actually gets big there a overheads to pay. If a record company can't make money off a band, the band will go nowhere. I think a system needs to be set up similar to what that site did, the advertising on the site paid for the downloads
 
Something definately needs to be "about" so that intellectual property can`t be fragrantly copied straight off the shelf.

However, I do feel as if companies spend far to much time, labor & monies on developing silly things that they feel is very good for their product, when in the space of a couple of days it literally gets cracked by `some kid in a bedroom`. Thereafter their time and efforts are semi wasted.

Clearly this costs them money, so in the same arguement as `I wouldn`t be happy with someone stealing my money` I`d also add `I wouldn`t be happy with someone(s) wasting my monies and time internally`.

Something needs to be done, but these efforts are quite thankless.

Back to the days of creating errors on the media, that everyday devices can`t duplicate, is surely a more simpler way of checking that the media is orignial ? Yes there will be a way of going around this, but it will usually be a small minority who`re able to do it.

Something that`s helping existing DVD media is costing - why spend time and monies in trying to get a copy of something when u can buy it for a really senisble price at u`r local store ? These prices indicating a more realistic reflection on how much the media costs to produce. Hell u get more sales as people are more flexibly buying them without knowing if they`ll like them cos they`re so, comparitively, cheap.
 
Agreed with Llwyd and rast

If they brought the prices down (which they could do seeing as profit margins on CD's/DVD's are ridiculous) then more people would buy rather than pirate

Of course there will still be people that pirate, but hopefully even less of a monority

Exactly why i never want to make it big. As a true musician all i want is to play, and be heard. From my way of thinking id never actualy stay big because record companies wouldnt want to keep me. They would want to sell my CD for like $20 but yet i would want to sell it for say 5 or 9. Or w/e is enough to cover costs over a period of time. My fans would still want to buy it, but yet wont cost an arm and a leg. (Trying to stay on topic). That, is what i was getting at, but since its 7am and i still havent slept its hard to type and focus. Then again, i still have alot of playing to do to even think big times. So far away, and i wanna keep it that way.

Tbh and on a grossly exaggerated scale, I would akin this to ALL things media based that get copied. That`d include software.

Whoooooops!!!! Another hole in the hull of the Good Ship PS3:D

The best thing they can do is make CDs/DVDs a cheaper alternative, 'cos I'm pretty sure no software developer is gonna fill a Blue-Ray or HD-DVD to capacity with one game.
 
well developers have been saying that they hate developing on games on blu-ray as it's slow. They would prefer to use a normal dvd and use the hard drive more.

It would load a hell of a lot quicker!
