First HD-DVD now Blu-Ray 'cracked'

A couple of weeks ago was the HD-DVD protection officially circumvented. Now the Blu-Ray protection (which also uses AACS for protection) is a 'goner'.
I wonder how many trillions of dollars were spent on this protection (which is being paid by the consumers who buy these discs). I just hope that the movie industry follows the music record labels (EMI n this case) in removing protection on audio CD's.
B.t.w. I saw the ripped HD-DVD movie 'Serenity' on my PC, and must say that the HD quality is phenomanal. Time to become an early-adaptor on the HD format (again :-)). This means a new Full-HD TV, and an appropriate player.
