[snipple about cracking AACS]

I did a bit of looking into this earlier (bored at work) - it looks like  
it inadequate protection of keys by PowerDVD. It protects its master key,  
but fails to protect the title key used to protect the video. From reading  
the description, it looks like the title key remains in the clear in  
memory, easily indexed.

So it's not quite a full deCSS, just a technique for obtaining the movie  
once you have the title key.

It also looks like the poster will post more in the New Year...
