| your mother said: Interesting. I thought they used different copy-protection mechanisms, seeing how they are developed by rival companies (Sony vs Toshiba). Also, it seems that HD-DVD is already making its rounds in the torrent sites but to-date there isn't one Blu-ray title available for download. Anyhow, I still think that Sony's chance to move consoles resides in its ability to be pirated. |
It might be slightly different but like everything else, they farm out encription formats. I can't recall the name of the consortium that came up with AACS (it's been awhile since I read about it), but the same guy ended up cracking both of them (HD-DVD first, then Blu-Ray if I recall).
Funny thing is that he foiled millions of dollars of research with a 360, an HD-DVD add-on, and a copy of King Kong.
