Blu-Ray's AACS key has been compromised since May of 2007.

HDMI's been compromised by the HDFury2.

Neat little hack, that. They used a laptop TMDS display transmitter chip's
HDMI input paired 3cm from a TMDS receiver chip with a VGA/component
output.

Fully HDMI 1.3 compliant with embedded HDCP keys and CEA861 EDID extension
block! Heh!

Perfect match for the Ambarella A2 chip in Hauppauge's HD PVR to capture
crisp 720p or 1080i straight to h264. Ambarella's A3 chip extends that to
1080p60, or our friendly neighborhood PC resolution of 1920x1080@60hz.

(Can you tell I'm a hardware geek?)

Well, this is very nice for existing discs, but my understanding was that Blu-Ray had multiple keys, and that they had planned for updates.

There is also the prospect of HDMI 2.0. So, I hope we're as lucky in the future.
