Comment Blu Ray == Butt Fsckd? (Score 2, Interesting) 536

This is my favorite section from the proposal:
"Moreover, BD+ affects only players that have been attacked, as opposed to those that are vulnerable but haven't been attacked and therefore continue to operate properly. "
Now, imagine this: you have hordes of Blu-Ray DVD players connected to the internet that could possibly be deactivated or modified in such a way that future access to content would result in their deactivation. Can you imagine what kind of desirable target this is for a would be hacker? The street cred from this type of hack would guarantee the hacker a type of immortality that would be difficult for a person of that bent to resist. A worm that accomplished this would be the hack of the century.
