The writing is on the wall for Slysoft. I say that as an owner of their software. The simple fact is that Fox can make them play catchup by constantly changing their copy protection scheme. This is the ENTIRE POINT of BD+, to heal from cracks and always put the crackers on the back foot. No scheme is uncrackable, but studios can make it so it takes weeks or months before a crack appears. If Fox were agressive, and perhaps joined by a few more studios, there is NO WAY Slysoft would keep up. The only comfort for Slysoft is the number of studios who still don't use BD+. Perhaps the licencing is prohibitive. If the BD+ licensors dropped their cost to pennies, AnyDVD would become all but useless. It's notable that Slysoft have already changed their subscription model and the default behaviour of AnyDVD when BD+ cannot be cracked. They're already preparing for the time when this becomes the norm.
