Capabilities [edi] BD+ is effectively a virtual machine embedded in authorized players. It allows content providers to include executable programs on Blu-ray Discs. Such programs can:l’] « examine the host environment, to see if the player has been tampered with. Every licensed playback device manufacturer must provide the BD+ licensing authority with memory footprints that identify their devices. « verify that the player's keys have not been changed. « execute native code, possibly to patch an otherwise insecure system. « transform the audio and video output. Parts of the content will not be viewable without letting the BD+-program repair it.

    TIL how crazy the "BD+" BluRay copy protection mechanism is. BluRay discs ship actual executable programs written for a custom virtual machine that can execute arbitrary code??!!

    Also LOL:
    "The copy protection scheme was to take "10 years" to crack, according to Richard Doherty, an analyst with Envisioneering Group".

    Oct 2007: The first discs with BD+ encryption are released
    March 2008: AnyDVD HD released, allowing the full decryption of BD+, allowing not only the viewing of the film itself but also playing and copying disks with third-party software.
