I suspect that SlySoft's current solution merely exploits an error in current implementations of BD+. Expect future implementations to close this particular exploit, but SlySoft will no doubt then find other exploits...
BD+ is fully reprogrammable. Basically, a program runs on your player as the disc plays, and the program can modify the video stream as it plays. If you don't run the program, the video is corrupt.
I would expect the current SlySoft break just works around the current program running on BD+ discs, and new discs will come out with revised programs that counter the SlySoft break.
But in the end, it's impossible for the content providers to revise their programs faster than SlySoft can counter them. As long as SlySoft exists, BD+ will never be truly effective.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Cool! Now I don't have to worry about buying an HDCP compatible video card, although many of them are nowadays.

The decryption key is ALWAYS present, regardless of any hitech crap.
