Even though the technology has been repeatedly cracked, major companies are pushing forward. They plan to continue using the key revocation process which will probably require a lot of patching for the consumer.

Key revocation works on the assumption any traditional copy-protection methods will be broken. Earlier this year, pirates spread passwords allowing users of Cyberlink and InterVideo software to copy high-definition DVDs.
 
Woohoo, waste even more money and time to irritate the consumers, fail miserably and sue more people so that the cycle can start all over again. Great job, AACS.

And don't forget pass their costs onto us. I have a very hard time paying $30 for a damn blu-ray movie.

Gee, I completely don't have that problem, since I didn't pay out the ass for a BR player, I don't have to pay out the ass for BR movies. :D Being poor has its perks. ;)
 
You realize, the BAD GUYS can just make an HDMI device that pretends to be a HDCP tv and on the otherside of the handshake before the pixels would be written, take the raw unencrypted data and just copy it, re-MPEG it back into none encrypted form and pirate the crap out of whatever.

You think the chinese pirates are all a bunch of bicycle peddling peasents with no resources.

It aint the joe blow consumer that is the enemy in this, it is the serious pro's who copy and sell MILLIONS of copies.
