This press release is nicely dissembled. Not until the end of the third graf do they concede that the DRM contest has moved from the player to the disk. In other words, unlike with AACS, they have to spend "three months locked in a basement" reversing each major release.

The point of BD+ wasn't that it was unbreakable. It was that it shifted the economics, so that no one "class break" would yield all future titles.

Why would I buy DVD ripping software that only had a chance of ripping all my DVDs? And how does SlySoft plan on justifying shipping a product that needs a database of title-specific DRM scheme breaks to function?

Um, two data points:

* Cooks Illustrated (what kind of food geek are you if you don't know about Cooks Illustrated?) did a taste test and couldn't tell the difference between artificial and real vanilla extract in anything cooked, and only a marginal difference otherwise. That's ARTIFICIAL vs. REAL, not real storebought vs. real homemade.

* Vanilla beans are really expensive, and the beans are far more potent than extract.

Isn't this a huge waste?
