AACS Security Updates

[diogen]

As expected (~90 days passed) AACS updated their system:
Home : AACS - Advanced Access Content System

To summarize:
- SlySoft is pinpointed as the evil hacker;
- AACS LA believes they know how it (AnyDVD) works;
- PowerDVD turned out to be the "weakest link";
- PCs are not banned as a playback platform;
- WinXP is not banned as a playback OS;
- Forced key updates will be enforced.

No deadline for implementing all this.
Will see how long this takes to hack...

About 3 minutes. Why?

Diogen:

Is Cyberlink releasing a patch for PowerDVD? I'm assuming so; but that doesn't make it a fact

Cheers,

I haven't seen any cutoff dates mentioned.
Any day now a newly released HD/BD movie will have PowerDVD's key blacklisted.
Cyberlink must have an update to its player ready by the time this happens.

He got you Diogen. You missed it with your response. He was joking that its already been done (even though it probably hasn't)

Didn't know that you can miss what hasn't happened...
But then again, I didn't know lots of things until I started reading JoeSp's posts...
