A program to circumvent BD+

It is now a few months since the AACS experienced a crisis when the protection of the same name was bypassed with ridiculous ease even though it was supposed to be infallible.
With the victory of Blu-ray, the Majors had hoped that the establishment of BD + would allow them to have additional respite.
However, in late 2007, the company whiwh makes editing software AnyDVD announced that it had found a way to circumvent the BD +. They have now proven it and have started to market their software capable of recopying any capacity Blu-ray.
The BD + system is based on a virtual machine loaded on the hard drive, it will certainly be easy to exploit the loophole in the coming discs being sold, but it will be once again a means of another step in a battle with no end.
If we can understand the position of Majors who refuse to leave themselves open to looting, it is still difficult to sympathise with them totally because these protections also complicate the lives of consumers, who must have a compatible drive, a compatible television set unless computer is new, and a new monitor.
It must be remembered that the first person to have find a way to circumvent the AACS protection was someone frustrated to see that their equipment did not allow them to read the media that they had bought.
