The hardware DRM you are talking about, is HDCP. It is required for Blu-ray.


Thanks.

For anyone interested, it looks like HDCP has been broken on pure crypto grounds [1]. As much as I agree that this type of DRM is fundamentally not possible, I'm still kind of surprised that their was a direct attack on the crypto.
