Blu-ray joins HD DVD -- both cracked via loose keys

Today Blu-ray joined HD DVD with one of its titles having its keys grabbed from a PC software player and used to decrypt the file:

Oups, I did it again!

In less that 24 hours, without any Blu-Ray equipment, but with the help
of Janvitos, I managed to decrypt and play a Blu-Ray media file using my
known-plaintext attack...

The file from the movie "Lord of war", play well with VideoLan.

Janvitos gave me few files on the BD disc and a memory dump...

Note that I don't address BD+. The file don't seem to be BD+ protected.

I will keep you informed If I found anything new...

He/she then posted the file on rapidshare for download. That makes both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc having titles available for illegal download. This does look to be real. It is going to be interesting to see what the AACS LA does in reaction. No high definition shiny disc PC players in XP or 32 bit Vista, but just 64 bit Vista? Or worse?

I'm not surprised. It's kind of like having locks on your doors in that it keeps the honest people out, but the crooks aren't even slowed down.
