Calling it "the 'must have' utility for the serious home theater enthusiast," an Antigua-based company has begun selling software that it claims will break Sony's Blu-ray copy-protection code. Moreover, it says, its AnyDVD HD application can do so on the original disc so that it can be watched without a special Blu-ray player. Blu-ray's stronger digital rights management (DRM) protection had been a major factor in its victory over Toshiba's HD DVD. In a statement posted on its site, Slysoft thumbed its nose at film studios, saying that those "that have switched to Blu-ray may have crowed a little too early." While Sony's BD+ technology also includes measures intended to counter such a security breach, Slysoft's head of high-definition technology, Peer van Heuen, said in the statement, "We are well-prepared for this and await the coming developments rather relaxed." Slysoft is likely to find a safe haven in Antigua, which has threatened to nullify its intellectual property treaty with the U.S. -- thereby allowing copyright pirates to operate freely within its shores -- in retaliation for a U.S. crackdown on Internet gambling sites doing business in that country.

No encryption technology is 100% safe. Remember the 16 year old from Finland that cracked the original "unbreakable" DVD code with his app DeCSS lol!
