AACS Copy Protection Scheme

As of 11/2/07 the copy protection scheme know as AACS which is the most expensive DRM ever created (developed by Intel, Disney, Microsoft, Sony plus a few others) has been broken.

Earlier this year attempts to break AACS the copy protection method used for both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray disc was made but only worked for one movie and was not an all round solution.

But now with the recent discovery of the actual processing keys being used, it is now possible to break every movie having been encrypted with AACS.

The actual processing key is:
09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0
