Here's something interesting:
HDCP 'master key' supposedly released, unlocks HDTV copy protection permanently

Not that it's actually needed for anything, the bluray protection has been broken in other ways already.

But it's clearly another nail in the DRM's coffin.

"Master Key" sounds an urban myth to me..


In what way?

Niels Ferguson predicted this in 2001 already. It just took longer than a year.

Hmm I do? I don't recall. However, here goes: Fallacy Files: Straw man
