Thats right people, they are gonna nail piracy to the wall in the pursuit of the billion dollars that they would make if people didn't download warez.[/sarcasm] I thought about posting a poll about how many peolp thought AACS wasn't going to get cracked, but decided it really wasn't worth the trouble.
<blockquote>The Blu-ray Disc format that will be used for PS3 will spell an end to game piracy according to the The Blu-ray Disc Association. They have adopted a comprehensive content management system to protect against illegal copying of the discs.
The Blu-ray content management system include three components.
Advanced Access Content System (AACS), which help secure content on discs with network and internet functionality.
Blu-ray specific enhancement for content protection renewability called BD+, which will be a programmable enhancement that will let content providers respond to organized attacks and update compromised code.
A unique and undetectable identifier embedded into movies, music, and games called ROM Mark to prevent mass production piracy and sale of unauthorized copies.
Piracy costs the movie, music and game industry billions of dollars each year in lost revenue. "The level of unauthorized copying and industrial piracy associated with DVD not only jeopardizes studios and other content creators, but also results in increased costs and limited flexibility for consumers," said Maureen Weber, General Manager, of Hewlett Packard's Optical Storage Solutions. "It is good news for everyone that the BDA has adopted a series of measures that gets it right for the next disc format."
Only time will tell how secure the PS3 will really be from game piracy, as it seems that no matter what the big companies come up with some guy some where seems to find a way around it.</blockquote>
I know it isn't 100% fresh news, AACS has been talked about for quite a while, howevere it is an interesting point for discussion.
