What kind of moron do you have to best to proclaim that your disc encryption won’t be broken for 10 years. The model of DRM is retarded. It’s not security. You don’t walk around giving criminals your lock and your key to your house hidden in a haystack and say ‘Ha Ha try to break in’. Yet somehow that’s what they do. Not only that but then they make claims like “You can’t find that key in 10 years”. Morons.

You purchase an encrypted disc (like Blu-ray disc.) In order for you to see the content you have to de-crypt the data. This means that blu-ray players have the key needed to decrypt the data… This is simplifying a lot but the concepts are all there. It just takes time for people to find the key but THEY WILL. The problem is you can’t use encryption techniques to hide data AND SHOW DATA to the same crowd. It doesn’t work that way.
