AACS: How To Bypass The Protection

The AACS (Advanced Access Content System) used to protect contents of blue-laser media (BD and HD-DVD) was decribed and avertised as "un-crackable".
This is maybe true. But in the past, it has been shown thatthere is no way to fully protect or prevent a content to be copied. The German magazine "C't" reports in its last issue that an application able to capture the video, via the "print screen" function, at a frequency of 25 images/seconde could be used to record a HD Video streaming; bypassing the AACS protection.
One will of course need a powerful computer, and a large HD, but you will also have to extract the audio track then resynchronize it later on with the captured video. It will of course be time-consuming, but it is not impossible to do.
So, this article in "C't" proves one more time that spending times and energy to implement an unbreakable protection is useless. Majors should better try to have protected content to respect copyrights, but also propose larger diversity and better price to attract more customers.
