Well, that didn’t take long.  The latest version of the AACS DRM system has already been completely compromised, and this is a week before the disks that contain it actually hit the shelves.

Just in case you didn’t already piece it together, many (if not all) of the new HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc titles set for release on May 22nd will feature the latest revisions to AACS. A week before the disks have even hit the shops, the kids over at

Slysoft have already released AnyDVD HD 6.1.5.1 (beta) which kicks AACS MKB v3 swiftly to the curb. Thus you can continue to rip all your newly purchased HD DVD and BD flicks for playback any damn way you like.

Another fine proof that DRM is dead and people don’t want it.  It really makes you wonder what Hollywood is thinking by continuing to support a dead and unwanted technology that only serves to annoy and frustrate their own customers.
