Remember when I described how the AACS LA can issue replacement encryption keys that are designed to restore DRM protection for subsequently released Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs? Well, the AACS LA did that for the first time about a month ago. Guess what? Engadget reports that the new keys are already cracked and packaged into a DVD-ripping application, even before the first discs that use the new keys have been released! As the kids say these days, that's the awesome.
