Good News (Score 1)

Before we realise what good news this is - let's take a moment to realise that everybody (including all the irritating GPL nerds) have the right to protect their work any way they want. When all the house thieves are gone, Yale will go out of business. When all the video pirates are gone, Macrovision (etc) likewise. That fact aside. This is good news. One of the things that stops a large propotion of the hacking community is getting a copy of the firmware from which to start. I am not the only software techie who is scared off by SMT soldering (heck, DIL worries me enough) - the release of an upgrade disk not only tells the hackers exactly how to replace the firmware, but also gives them a file from which to start. Thanks to Samsung (etc) failing to implement the BluRay standard properly, they will now be handing out the keys to their backdoors. Keep up the bad work guys :) BC
