On December 26, 2006, a member of the Doom9.com forums named muslix64 introduced himself as circumventing the content protection – not the copy protection – of HD DVD. Additionally, he made available an open source program named BackupHDDDVD.
I have to hand it to this guy… he not only cracked HD-DVD, but Blu-Ray as well. I don’t agree with piracy but the fact of the matter is, people who -legally- buy their high-definition content are unable to play it on a monitor without HDCP support. All that does is irritate people. I would be pissed if I had to run out and purchase a completely new monitor when the one I have is just fine. Great interview overall.
