Faves for this Web page
Well, not quite ... I took a look at this, and it's not really that groundbreaking. Here's my Digg comment:
AACS has not been "hacked". The author's source code simply implements the decryption algorithm (documented, no black magic here).
The only thing of interest is the fact that he extracted the title keys, which he almost certainly obtained by poking around in PowerDVD's memory space.
The proper title for this post is (probably) "AACS Title Keys Extractable from PowerDVD".
Now, if the title keys can be obtained and distributed en masse (100,000 titles would require only a few megabytes even with title metadata), then AACS is certainly ineffective, but it's incorrect to say that it is "cracked" or "hacked". Nothing here will lead to a libdeaacs.so that could operate in the absence of a key database.

Yeah, but if you don't use a title that has a super-exciting buzzword like "Hacked!" you won't get anybody to read your site. In fact, the title of this dot made me read it in more detail. If you retitled this dot "AACS Title Keys Extractable from PowerDVD", I probably would have yawned and moved on. Its sales baby, sales!! And yes, sales is a business term that means "lies".
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT! AACS? TITLE KEYS? DECRYPTION ALGORITHM?
