HD-DVD Hacked!

It was bound to happen, almost inevitable, but HD-DVD has been hacked. No sign of DVD-Jon this time though :) HD-DVD uses an encryption system called AACS which stands for Advanced Access Content System, basically it is a system that restricts the devices that can play the discs. But a Canadian hacker going by the name of Muslix64 has cracked it. A video of the software being used to extract Warner Brothers war epic Full Metal Jacked was posted on youtube but Warner Brothers has had it removed already, somebodys obviously very scared! What did they expect though? Nothing is uncrackable, they have probably a thousand people working on protecting a device, compare this to the hundreds of thousands of people who are attempting the crack it! This version of the video has the copyright infringing section pixelated out and the audio muted, so the powers that be shouldnt remove this one!
