HD DVD/Blu-ray "Managed Copy" feature |
Ó
According to Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) President Dan Glickman, the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) support for "managed copy" of HD DVD and Blu-ray movies will be available before the end of the year. This will finally let users create their own official backup copies. Whenever we talked about backup copies, we all know that there's potential for exploitation. This is the very reason why studios are going to implement some other security measures.
Accordingly, once the "managed copy" specification is already in place, studios will be able to specify what options they would like to offer and for how much. An example of which is users having an option to create just one free backup copy.
Other options include creating a version suitable for mobile usage for a nominal fee and multiple copies at discounted pricing. The HD DVD Promotional Group added that the new feature is going to be retroactive meaning discs sold prior to the "managed copy" support still have to deal with DRM.
On the other hand, the same is not true for the Blu-ray format. One major Blu-ray partner maintains that there is a fear that managed copy could be exploited and provide a backdoor to AACS security. Speaking of which, certain reports are saying that the recently compromised AACS security is delaying the release of the new feature.

.... why should I have to pay for the privilege of being able to backup my own stuff, especially if it's mandated by law?
"Creating a version suitable for mobile usage for a nominal fee"
Thats like buying a chair to sit on, then having to pay more to put your coat on the back.
If you've bought it, that should be it.
Like the first blank dvds you could buy the cost was high. Now they are cheap. With blu-ray they are trying to take control for future interests.
i can't wait until blu-ray will be fully hacked and exploited. the more the company resist the harder it is for them to get out. paying to make a copy? i got a better idea, how about you get fu-cked! next they will come up with a way that you can only watch a rented movie once before you need to throw it out. then they will make you pay for showing the movie to your friends. making backups of DVD's are so easy. dvd decrypter and dvd shrink are great programs. soon the blu-ray drives for pc will become cheap and then the programs will soon pop up to make FREE backups. then a PS3 modchip like the one in the psp so no firmwire will be able to stop you from playing backed up blu-ray games. can't wait.
hell yeah - i cant wait either - all we need is a cheap Blu-ray/HD-DVD combo burner + come hackers to release Blu-ray/HD-DVD Decrypter+Shrin k - and we'll all be sorted
just use AnyDVD HD. I can rip the blu-ray + hd-dvd and also remove the stupid HDCP protection!
