		<title>Apply Patch for AACS or NEVER watch movies again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case DRM hasn&#8217;t caused you enough pain and suffering already…check it out, you&#8217;ve got some required software updating to do.  Corel has just introduced a patch to their cracked InterVideo WinDVD software.  According to Corel, &#8220;a failure to apply the update will result in AACS-protected HD DVD and BD playback being disabled.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>The boycott starts now!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone…the boycott starts NOW!!!  Why bother with HD-DVD and BluRay anyways?
In addition to the DRM mess, the image quality will not likely impress the average Joe to make it worth their while.
And, even with the small difference, you can still achieve respectable results using a decent DVD player that can properly de-interlace and upscale [...]]]></description>

		<title>How AACS Works</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In AACS, each player device is assigned a DeviceID (which might not be unique to that device), and is given decryption keys that correspond to its DeviceID. When a disc is made, a random &#8216;title key&#8217; is generated and the video content on the disc is encrypted under the title key. The title key is [...]]]></description>

		<title>YES!  AACS Decryption Code Released.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Decryption software for AACS, the scheme used to encrypt content on both next-gen DVD systems (HD-DVD and Blu-ray), was released recently by an anonymous programmer called Muslix. His software, called BackupHDDVD, is now available online. As shipped, it can decrypt HD-DVD&#8217;s but it could easily be adapted to decrypt Blu-ray discs.
Commentary has been all over [...]]]></description>

		<title>AACS Code Cracked?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Has the AACS code been cracked???  If it&#8217;s true, this could change the system&#8217;s in-the-field recovery.  Copy protection is not right. The best it can be is a never-ending arms race, which is why Big Media is increasingly relying on legal and social barriers.  I&#8217;d think it would be great if AACS [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is AACS?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AACS (Advanced Access Content System) is an industrial-strength encryption technology and an elaborate key-based system for authenticating hardware and software. These keys can be modified at any time so that if unlicensed players or drives come on to the market, updated keys can be added to new video releases. The new keys can also restrict [...]]]></description>

		<title>We need to stop AACS&#8230;NOW!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you really understand what’s going on in the video industry and their push towards High Definition? Under intense pressure from Hollywood, they are engineering a complete removal of the concept of fair use. They are also setting up systems that will completely control how, when, and where you can use content that you buy. [...]]]></description>

		<title>HD DVD and Blu-ray will use AACS copy protection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Manufacturers of drives for High Definition Digital Video Disk (DVD) and Blu-ray discs aim to stick to their launch for sometime in March.  The first devices will have an interim license according to Blu-ray manufacturers. These licenses will allow the drives to be upgraded with the necessary AACS (Advanced Access Content System) keys before [...]]]></description>
