In particular, the "strong" main course of AACS DRM with a side dish of BD+ has been handily laid waste by Slysoft. DRM is snake oil sold to Big Media and the sooner they realise it the better. There are two inherent flaws with it: 1 You cannot give someone the key to unlock encrypted content, but "authorise" them to use it in only one way, ie your way and to guarantee they won't find a way round your restriction, err sorry, Digital Consumer Enablement. (GAG, SPLUTTER) 2 Anything that can be displayed or heard, can be copied. Period. Hopefully we will see the DRM also come off movie discs.
