User arnezami over at the Doom9 forums has found the “processing key” for Blu-ray and HD DVD just two months after the “volume keys” were discovered. Now this may be gibberish to you, so let me break it down for you. The volume keys are used to decrypt AACS DRM on individual films/titles. This is not very helpful in the grand sceme of things because each title has a different one. Arnezami’s find was the processing key, which is the same on ALL titles. This means that with these keys, you will be able to decrypt any and all HD titles on the market today. The great part about it is that he claims no hacking was involved at all. All he had to do was keep a close watch on his memory, and once the key popped up, he was in business. The AnyDVD HD, BackupHDDVD and BackupBluray utilities will likely be updated due to the find. And yes, you can expect tons of movies to hit the net now that they’re no longer wrapped in DRM.

At this pace, the movie industry might as well simply offer up their own torrents to HD DIVX files. I mean, it took *years* for DVDs to be cracked…and here this has taken months.
