Hacked: Blu-Ray DRM

A hacker by the nickname of "muslix64" has once again struck at the heart of the entertainment companies and video electronics device manufacturers by defeating the digital rights management (DRM) content protection systems for Blu-Ray high-definition video discs.

A few weeks ago the same hacker had released a software tool on the Internet, to help crack/defeat the DRM system protections for HD-DVD discs, a competing high-definition audio/video disc format.
