"An antipiracy code used in set-top boxes, Blu-ray and DVD players has been 
cracked and published on the Internet,
and as a result, we may soon see devices on the market that allow people to 
make unauthorized copies of movies.

Intel confirmed to CNET yesterday that code posted anonymously to the Internet 
earlier this week is the secret master key
to the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol.
Intel created HDCP to be used for ensuring that only authorized devices are 
playing copyright-protected video and audio,
and it licenses the technology to hardware manufacturers."
