That didn't take long..

Well apparently some dood cracked the AACS encryption on HDDVD movies in 8 days.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=119871

When will they learn..

No matter how smart you may think you are there is always some one smarter. I guess the protection specialists will never learn that Hackers aren't on dead lines they got lots of time to break stuff.
 
Ummm, rules do not permit you to talk about pirating or anything of that nature.

I will give you a few hours to delete this thread or I will report you.

First, no user can delete threads, not even their own (obviously except moderators).
Secondly, this was talked about as front page news on hardocp.com
http://hardocp.com/news.html?news=MjMyMjksLCxobmV3cywsLDE=

And thirdly, it is also being discussed in the ajoining news thread here:
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1137904

Relax, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the topic. It doesn't discuss method, doesn't give links to cracks, doesn't talk about any of the nature of it other than it being done.

Well, moderators cannot be everywhere all the time. I don't have a problem if the link was to the HardOCP site, but my bigger problem is that it is linked to doom9.

And I have a life, and a job, and many other things. Thanks for the personal attack.

You DO realize that there is a legitimate and legal side to decrypting digital video, don't you?

Sheez man. Are you an employee of the MPAA or something?

Yes, I am fully aware of the legal aspect decrypting and making backups of your movies. Anything that is legal can be used for illegal things too you know.

And hell no, I don't work for the MPAA or RIAA. I will keep my personal opinions about them to myself.

This flame war is retarded.
 
He didn't talk about pirating or illegal copying, he mentioned that a piece of software had been reverse engineered. What you do with that is up to you. People need to start getting to grips with this kind of stuff. You can't lock up computer code; its the same thing as a crowbar, yes it can be used to steal or injure people, but there are also legitimate uses for it. And it certainly should not be illegal to walk around or talk about a crowbar. People need to lighten up...
Douche bags sued people for t-shirts with the DeCSS code on it...that is completely retarted, and when people say well they should be able to sue them and let that crap go on we end up with a bunch of stupid sheeps like mr. rent a cop here.
thanks

This doesn't really constitute a flame war, in my humble opinion. No mention was made of the act of piracy, the intent to commit the act of piracy, or promotion of piracy. Was it honestly necessary to try and tattle on him to the mods?
 
lol @ this thead.

Bottom line is: We don't talk about illegal stuff here because it can potentially hurt HardOCP so please be more careful. :D
