The second line of defence to prevent the Blu-ray disc to be copied was raped: SlySoft, a software company based in Antigua, West Indies, said last week that its HD AnyDVD 6.4.0.0 Copy program can now ” make back-up copies of safety Blu-ray BD + protected. ”

The first line of defence for Blu-ray, Advance Access Content System (AACS) System copy protection, was rejected in late 2006. Efforts to keep the 32-bit processing AACS key grounded off the Internet dramatically in 2007, when opponents of regimes copy protection has posted significant number in a variety of forms on Digg and other Web sites .

The technology behind BD + was developed by Cryptography Research and sold to Macrovision in November 2007. BD + is supposed to serve as a second layer of protection to prevent Blu-ray content to be copied. In July 8, 2007 issue of Home Media magazine, Richard Doherty, a media analyst for the Envisioneering Group, said BD +, unlike AACS, are unlikely to be breached for 10 years.

SlySoft, in a press release on March 19, repetition and the prediction of Doherty noted that it had managed to circumvent BD +, only eight months after his statement.

“We are rather proud of having brought down to earth and highly praised as” unbreakable “BD +,” said Peer van Heuen, head of the high-definition technologies to SlySoft, last week. “However, we must also recognize that the Blu-ray titles released so far have not yet fully exploited the possibilities of BD +. Upcoming versions will undoubtedly have a more polished and protection BD +, but we well prepared for this, and await the coming developments rather relaxed. ”
BD + is designed to respond to attempts to circumvent this, it is likely that Macrovision will be able to take steps to re-lock compromised Blu-ray titles. Indeed, Macrovision offers such action is yet to come.

“Macrovision does not comment on the procedures and specific techniques that can have a direct impact on security technology BD +,” said Eric Rodli, executive vice president and general manager of Macrovision entertainment, in a letter sent by post. “BD + is a security response system designed to respond to security attacks, not prevent them entirely. Under this system, the updated BD + security code is continuously developed so that customers get BD + current utility of the use of this technology.
