Blu-ray Discs will spell an end to game piracy

The Blu-ray Disc format that will be used for PS3 will spell an end to game piracy according to the The Blu-ray Disc Association. They have adopted a comprehensive content management system to protect against illegal copying of the discs.

The Blu-ray content management system include three components.

Advanced Access Content System (AACS), which help secure content on discs with network and internet functionality.

Blu-ray specific enhancement for content protection renewability called BD+, which will be a programmable enhancement that will let content providers respond to organized attacks and update compromised code.

A unique and undetectable identifier embedded into movies, music, and games called ROM Mark  to prevent mass production piracy and sale of unauthorized copies.

Piracy costs the movie, music and game industry billions of dollars each year in lost revenue. "The level of unauthorized copying and industrial piracy associated with DVD not only jeopardizes studios and other content creators, but also results in increased costs and limited flexibility for consumers," said Maureen Weber, General Manager, of Hewlett Packard's Optical Storage Solutions. "It is good news for everyone that the BDA has adopted a series of measures that gets it right for the next disc format."

Only time will tell how secure the PS3 will really be from game piracy, as it seems that no matter what the big companies come up with some guy some where seems to find a way around it.

Yes, it will be defeated. Just like EVERY other "unhackable" scheme they've come up with before. And no, they don't lose "billions of dollars a year to piracy". Most people wouldn't buy the titles they pirate if they couldn't copy them. Just because someone downloads it off the internet, doesn't mean it would have been a sale for them. That arguement from them is so tiring.

Blu Ray my ass, its 2948 verse, same as the first.

Its starting to get annoying, I vote as soon as we crack their technology we crack their network.

Actually the drm you guys put into the products limits flexibility for consumers not the other way around. Think of it this way. A so called pirate will set you free and the so called corporation's products fully intact the way that they want you are actually limiting the flexibility.

everything that is readable is also writable. At some point the blu-ray disk will have to decrypt in order to allow the consumer to watch the content. someone out there will write a programme called "blu-ray decrypter" or something which will simply capture the information when it plays. also the ps3 will be modchipped at some point. because blu-ray burners cost so much, people will just install a 1000gb hard drive or a new blu-ray reader/writer combo drive in the ps3. hackers are very determined people driven by money and are cleverer than these big companies which is why every console is eventually hacked and modchipped.

Thank you sony for trying to put more bull crap on my computer and disabling me from my rightful content. Also, whats with that macho bull, not everyone needs ass to survive. Its just another form of entertainment, its like saying on a porno site everyone read a book and get a life, irrelevant people and their moronic thinking.

I appreciate all of you that crack the codes and decrypt the encryptions! I say the celebs and companies make too much money anyway and for those that can't afford to buy $60 dollar games and $20 movies don't have to, thanks to you! I hope you crack that bad boy and prove to them yet again that they can't have it all their way!
