Those silly users over at Doom9! What will they think of next? Apparently processing keys were on the mind of user Arnezami. He’s posted a method for acquiring the processing key from a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player, meaning piracy is about to skyrocket in the HD sector. This isn’t what happened a few weeks ago when Muslix64 broke the volume key encryption, this is completely new. Basically, in six months, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray piracy will be switched into full gear.

If you’re feeling a bit adventurous and want to learn more, check out this thread on the Doom9 forums. Packed full of juicy illegal stuff information!
