Sony, who launched Blu-ray’s BD+ anti-piracy system in 2007, claimed that it would take 10 years for it to be cracked. SlySoft claim that they had cracked BD+ as early as November 2007, but they waited until the High Definition format war was over before releasing a product.

The developers of BD+ say that the system will react to attempts to break it and that they can re-lock copied discs, making them unusable in the future.
SlySoft say that they will simply work on cracking it again if this happens.

AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie or audio CD as soon as it’s inserted into the drive, allowing you to backup the movie using a disc backup tool.

AnyDVD HD allows you to watch movies over a digital display connection, without an HDCP-compliant graphics card or HDCP-compilant display, so there is no need to buy expensive display equipment to watch the movies.
