HDCP Master Key Confirmed - Blu-ray Content Hacked

Noticed this last week,  it was only a matter of time before someone figured out the encryption key.  Thing is the solution isn't as elegant as the DVD solution

As a practical matter, the most likely scenario for a hacker would be to create a computer chip with the master key embedded it, that could be used to decode Blu-ray discs. A software decoder is unlikely, "but I'd never say never," Waldrop said. 

Create a decoder chip, and use that to extract the data you want to save.  Seems like a lot of work, esp considering people have been posting ripped Blu-ray films for quite some time now.  I guess this post is confirming the key they discovered is legit.
