The ongoing war between content producers and hackers over the
AACS copy protection used in HD DVD and Blu-ray discs produced yet
another skirmish last week, and as has been the case as of late, the
hackers came out on top.
A hacker posted the new decryption key for
AACS on the Freedom
to Tinker web site, just one day after the AACS Licensing
Authority (AACS LA) issued the key. In true tongue-in-cheek hacker
fashion, the hacker posted the 128-bit key as a method of decrypting a
small haiku that they placed on the same page, noting that it just
might accidentally be the same key that will decrypt new
high-definition discs as well.
