The article makes it pretty clear that the days of relying on software encryption to protect Hollywood's big-budget films are soon to be gone. Perhaps the most ambitious plan is BD+, which takes a very active approach to copy-protection. According to the Holtzman: There's an ominous feature buried in this so-called protection mechanism: If a particular brand of player is cryptographically "compromised," the studio can remotely disable all of the affected players. In other words, if some hacker halfway across the globe cracks Sony's software, Sony can shut down my DVD player across the Net. Now that is reaching out and touching someone. I wonder if BD+ will work with the internal Blu-ray drives that ship with PCs? I tend to be the Blu-ray fan on staff, at least compared to some, but that is just creepy.
