After the silly debacle over the HD-DVD "Processing Key" leak, and the AACS Licensing Authorities vehement stand against anyone posting this (now revoked and out of date) key, you'd think the war would get hotter. Well, it may in some ways but it really looks like the war is over and the AACS are just in denial. Yet again the guys over at Doom9 have discovered an unrevokable way of getting HD-DVD "Volume Unique Keys" via modified Xbox360 drives. Good luck shoving the toothpaste back in this tube. ArsTechnica Reports...

Only a few days after Corel issued a WinDVD update to close the hole opened by AACS hackers, the folks at the Doom9 forums sent word that they have found yet another way around the copy protection for high definition discs. This time, the method involved the Xbox 360's HD DVD add-on drive to capture the "Volume Unique Keys" as they were being read by the drive itself. Rather than just point out the crack, we're going to take a closer look at how this crack was accomplished, because one of the hackers involved in the crack says that it's more or less unstoppable.
