All SlySoft claims to be able to do is break a single BD+ program. There are an infinite number of BD+ programs; BD+ is itself a VM. SlySoft's own press release acknowledges disks they can't "yet" crack, and concedes that future titles will likely set them back to the drawing board.

That dynamic, if sustainable, is a major "victory" for DRM.


It's only a matter of time before we're cracking Blu-Ray Discs like we did DVDs.
