Four times longer? You mean it may actually make it to market before it's hacked?
And by the way.... if AACS has only been partially hacked, then what would be a full hack?

It will be hacked in the first week after the first movie with the protection is out.

Funny how they say, only 1 movie on 1 player would be hacked. After they have that 1 movie ripped to an avi, mpeg or whatever then it won't matter if another copy of the disc has a different code on it. The 1 copy being distributed is all they need.

In other news, analyst claims sky is green, Jupiter is tiny, and sun is frigid.
Idiot.

I like how the second part of the quote in the story doesn't match the scan.
Sure the message is the same, but you really shouldn't quote something unless you are going to do it correctly.

This quote smacks of damage control (for AACS). Perhaps he was simply trying to reassure content providers that Blu-ray's BD+ is more secure and it is what stands Blu-ray apart from HD-DVD, which has no secondary security measure outside of AACS; we know how those studios love them some DRM. But what a silly thing to say to the press; comments like this only invite attacks from hackers.

File this guy under "Stupidest quotes of the 21st century". Why in the world would he put his personal and company credibility on the line with such a rediculous quote?

It's a foolish statement to make, unless BD+ discs will not be playable on computers.
And just FYI, AACS itself WAS NOT HACKED.
The AACS "hack" was volume key sniffing. None of the encryption alogrithms themselves have been reverse engineered or defeated. The hack is that somebody(s) was smart enough to figure out where the keys were stored in RAM, and published them. AACS is still in place and working, but until they disallow playback on PCs, they keys will always be accessible to someone with enough time/brains.
