Last month we mentioned that an enterprising hacker had bypassed HD-DVD’s AACS encyption scheme, rendering the high-def discs vulnerable to copying and transcoding (see “fair use“). Now The Register is reporting that AACS on Blu-ray has also been cracked, and by the same hacker that broke HD-DVD. Talk about street cred…

To top it off, Slyck has an interview with the hacker, known as “muslix64″ on the Doom9 forums. A few snippets…
*I’m just an upset customer. My efforts can be called “fair use enforcement”!
*Not being able to play a movie that I have paid for…made me mad
*…AACS is totally busted.
*If you can play it, you can decrypt it! …The only thing they can try is to slow people down.
*The consumers will benefit. I hope it will enforce fair use, not piracy.
