It's just silly.. muslix64 was an hacker, uh? Yeah,sure...

Just like behind DeCSS programs for DVDs and the myth of the "young genius hacker" and such.. This is just pure marketing (so lies due to the people in the industry and their inability to play fair towards customers) and nothing else.

The manufacturers just wanted to test how much interest there is in the HD formats before they start lowering HD-DVD/BD burners prices as well as that of blank media and such. Then "it will magically appear" another "hack" and then another one and so on just it happened with DVDs. It's the usual pathetic trick.

No, wouldn't it be much better to drop AACS completely along with any other insane DRM stuff and start selling products at very low prices just like it would happen in a true capitalistic market not owned by these marketeers and their DRM stuff and "young genius hackers" stuff popping up here and there along with some "reverse engineered" (yeah,sure..) modchip and so on ?

Geez! If only a bit of honesty invaded the industry everything would work way smoother and there would be less issues worldwide for everyone, indeed!
