Despite Claims, BD+ Secure

A few weeks back, SlySoft, a company which specializes in breaking digital rights management (DRM) code, confidently claimed that they had defeated the Blu-ray anti-piracy technology BD+ permanently. Seems as if they may have spoken too soon. The company, along with numerous users, have admitted that BD+ has been resecured via updates to the system.

Unlike typical DRM technologies which rely on hard algorithms and code, BD+ is extremely modifiable, meaning that if the technology is ever breached - as it was last month - it can be repaired and content resecured. This is welcome news to movie studios who lose millions of dollars annually to pirates who selling illegal copies of their films.
