forum.doom9.org— After a month of collaborative work the folks from the doom9 forum have extracted volume unique keys from HD-DVD disks, which can be used with BackupHDDVD to copy AACS protected content.

Honestly, I CAN see both sides of the coin- the *IAAs do have to protect their lines of revenue, but it does completly screw over the consumer. I think the problem is that the *IAAs have the wrong idea about content protection- they shouldn't make it SO restrictive and SO draconian that they don't think anyone will be able to crack it- they should make it just bad enough that the really lazy people won't bother. As an analogy, think of CD keys for online games or the flag that makes it so the CD must be in the drive for single player games. Neither of these really hampers the legal consumer (the CD thing might be a BIT annoying, but in the whole scheme of things it really dosn't do anything). What it does do is keep joe schmoe from saying "Oh, you got Oblivion 2.0? Mind copying it for me with Nero?" which is the only guy you can really be sure of stopping from pirating.
Also, DVDs weren't quite the "instant hit" HD DVD/BR is -- it took a couple of years before the format had gained enough wide-spread acceptance, and had enough content, to become interesting.
There is NO "fair use clause" for DRM protected material. You cannot legally make a copy of any material that is protected by DRM for any reason in the USA. In fact you cannot even explore ways to circumvent the DRM even if you don't copy the data. In fact it is illegal to even talk about ways to circumvent the copy protection (DRM).I don't like DRM but I'm just letting you know that when people talk about the fair use clause, that only applies to data that isn't copy protected like CDs.

Does this mean that once the DRM has been removed, it's OK to talk about it? :)
