How to copy Blu-Ray Movies
Filed Under Other | Leave a Comment
A software company claims it has cracked the anti-piracy technology on Blu-ray discs!
Slysoft says the new version of its AnyDVD programme allows users to make “backup security copies” of high definition movies.
The claim is a blow to Sony which developed the Blu-ray format.
The discs are protected by an anti-piracy system called BD+.
When it launched in 2007, developers boasted it would not be cracked for 10 years.
Sony declined to comment!
SlySoft says it hacked the BD+ technology in November.
It decided to wait for the result of the “format war” between Blu-ray and HD DVD before releasing a full product.
BD+ is designed to react to attempts on its technology.
Its developers say they can re-lock copied discs, making them unusable in the future.
SlySoft reckons it is prepared for this.
Peer van Heuen from the company said:
“The worst-case scenario is our boss locks us up with only bread and water in the company dungeon for three months until we are successful again.”
So for all Sony’s words and technology it just goes to show that anyone can ask the question “How to copy blu-ray movies and get a real solution that works.
(…so the cat and mouse game will carry on and the consumer will benefit.)

Ebay STOPS Selling Digital Downloads
Filed Under Other | Leave a Comment
eBay is to stop its sellers offering digital downloads from the 31st March 2008.
eBay may not be going out of business, but over 100,000 digital product auctions that end each week will be… no longer!
And this doesn’t just affect eBooks… it also includes software downloads, screen savers, graphics… etc.
If you had or were thinking of starting a business on eBay to sell cheap eBooks or reports - then you no longer can.
The eBay forums have been full of activity since this was announced.
One entry says:
I’d be curious to know the number of eBay stores that are out of business effective March 31 AND with no notice. I may not have thousands of FB, but I do have DSR 4.8 and above. What ever happened to fair trade? and where did this come from out of the blue with NO NOTICE WHATSOEVER. (and to top that off, we can’t even discount what we have in our stores (it’s against policy because of the change to “classified” on March 31!!!
Time to work way harder on my website.
…well perhaps it is and one such place to look is SiteBuildIt! and how you can use this powerful set of tools to make sure eBay can NEVER own your business traffic again!
