Hmmm... I've suddenly come up with a *flawless* copy protection scheme - all I have to do is create a method where the picture doesn't appear on your monitor, nor is the sound piped through your speakers. Magic Marker + blank DVDs - let's see the pirates try to copy data that isn't even there!

As far as I know, the DVI port in the graphics card is not incripted ... or VGA cable port, or wut so ever. Why can't you just encode the video out of these ports, or capture screen by using these ports neway???]]>Jul 7th 2006 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/its a total waste. pirates and hackers will be pirates and hackers forever, youre just giving them a new challenge, which is what they live for. stop spending money, and jsut freakin get over it. greedy b*stards.]]>Jul 7th 2006 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/THIS IS WHAT I WONDERED ABOUT FOR ETERNITY!!!!

Sadly it is thinking like that which has resulted in HDCP. When ICT is enabled on future disks (once # of HDCP compliant monitors, displays, and TV increase) your DVI & HDMI outputs will be encrypted by HDCP. When the player detects that you have non-compliant hardware it will downrezz the output or not display output at all.

Every HDTV sold today is now HDCP compliant. All HD devices (STB, HD-DVD, BlueRay, recorders, etc) sold today or in future are HDCP compliant. Even high end monitors are now being equipment with HDCP on DVI or HDMI.

It is only a matter of time before the only authorized output is a digital encrypted signal. If you were an early adopter and bought an HDTV with analog inputs or DVI w/o HDCP weil is sucks to be you. (Not my belief but that is how the content industry sees it).]]>Jul 7th 2006 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/Jul 7th 2006 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/Jul 7th 2006 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/Jul 7th 2006 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/
Hopefully, by the time it's practical to back up your HD media (and a blank HDDVD-R doesn't cost half the price of your movie), software like Handbrake will have figured out how to work around AACS.]]>Jul 7th 2006 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/Jul 7th 2006 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/Jul 7th 2006 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/

The MPAA/Studios don't give a rats ass about consumers having the ability to copy a movie, HD or not, it is just a smoke screen. The encryption is there to ensure that every time you fire up a DVD you have to sit there and watch that stupid commercial before the actual movie. Did you ever wonder why you couldn't skip that comemrcial? It's because of the encryption.]]>Jul 7th 2006 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/

You can't rip an HD-DVD or Blu Ray yet, seeing as AACS isn't cracked.

I personally think they are going the wrong way about copy protection. They should take advantage of the fact it will take a long period of time to copy a new generation movie disc, if a movie only fills a small part of the disc they should somehow increase the size, also they should limit the read speed for films 1x (I think this is possible). If it takes too much time and computer resources to copy a film, people will either just go out and buy the film, not watch it, or download a copy somebody already made from the internet.

The final point above is the most harmful thing, as there will be legal paid for downloads. I'm assuming it won't take too much time for people to hack these, thereby removing the whole ripping process.]]>Jul 8th 2006 4:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/
I've got a BETTER idea!!
Why not just poke everyone's eyes out and blow up everyone's ear drums? Oh don't forget to lobotomize everyone. This will mean that not even the human brain will be able to remember the content! ah ha!]]>Jul 8th 2006 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/07/security-flaw-allows-hd-flicks-to-be-copied-with-screencaps/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_overlay

Clever indeed... i was thinking of something similar and came up with this : why not make it illegal to actually *Watch* the movies in the first place?
This way, nobody could ever remember anything.
Just go to the theater, pay for a seat an go back home. What's the point, you'd say? Well just because it could also be made illegal not to go the movies and buy a couple of (blank) DVDs at least once a month.

This way, majors will safely continue producing new movies, and as nobody will ever see them, it won't even be necessary to shoot them! Win-win situation : no more loss on the consumer's side income, no more heavy production costs.

Financing the majors for not producing any more movies should actually be made a mandatory tax.]]>Jul 9th 2006 8:46AM
