BD+ Goes Live
Posted June 19, 2007 08:13 PM by Josh Dreuth

The BD+ Technologies, LLC is now issuing specifications for use by movie studios to begin using the BD Plus (BD+) content protection system. Essentially, BD+ is now ready for studio use on new releases. BD+ is a very fluid content protection system which allows many levels of protection from piracy, ensuring that studio content isn't copied for financial gain.
Most will note that Fox/MGM has been silent for the past few months while waiting for this technology to mature, so we should be seeing an announcement from them shortly in regards to new releases. Other studios, including those who currently don't support Blu-ray, have shown some interest as well, though it is unknown if any other studio besides Fox will make use of this technology at this time.

Once Fox puts the Star Wars saga on Blu-ray then we can put the final nail in the coffin for HD-DVD. |

If you think you'll see Starwars before 2010, you're in for a big suprise. We know 100% it's not coming this year, and next promotion cycle at best is 2010 |

BD+ is the ugly side of Blu.
it's purpose it to have an absolute almost "Orwellian" control over our use of the stuff.
I don't like it much, especially the "we-can-remotely-disable-your-machine-so-it's-good-to-trash" thing.
Well for now, it's good that blu wins the format war, cause it's the best of both, but beyond that ... |

Screw Star Wars, bring on the Alien series and the Predator series. Those are the ones to really look forward to. |

I hear you on the Orwellian comment but I doubt those features even get used in Draconian fashion. If they were to disable players there would be consumer revolt. Not a good plan for a format trying to win over the public. The capability is there to cut down on piracy and my guess is it will be used only in clear-cut, extreme situations. |

Can this day get any better? First Starz(formerly Anchor Bay), Disney, Exoptron(sp?), and now this. Looks like Christmas came early this year! I can't wait to see what titles Fox puts out on Blu Ray. |

Every protection is stupid and it will be overrun or cracked in few months...maybe years...but it will happen. They said that BD and HD DVD couldn't be coyped and now the net is full of them. Commercial software for ripping is sold and I am glad for that because I don't have HDCP graphic card and I wouldn't be able to watch any BD on my HTPC without one of that applications. And the format war? Only the format that would be copyable will win. Breakout of DVD came after it had been cracked. Thousand, millions of people have DVD player at home just because they can burn movies from their friends... And the money thing? The corporations are getting money from DVD licences, from sold player, blank dics...so the funds get to them just from another source. I don't believe that BD+ will last long, but if it does...it means the end of Blu-ray. People will invest in hardware but they will never buy dozens of original discs. And rentals? Yes, people will rent movies if they can make a copy at home. If this won't be possible...a lot less people will get BD titles at rental service. People copied VHS, they copy DVD and they will copy BD/HD DVD. Just get used to it, Sony, and stop inveting stupid protections , that will just piss of paying costumers like me. I bought 10 BD, but I wouldn't do that if I couldn't play them...so without AnyDVD HD Sony wouldn't get money from me... |
