HD DVD reportedly cracked, but difficult to verify
Reports are circulating that the AACS content protection system shared by both Blu-ray and HD DVD has been cracked. None of the sites reporting this information have confirmed the crack, however, and our own investigation suggests that this is not a full working crack at this time. From the available details, the hack appears to only address AACS encryption, which means that Blu-ray would not be fully crackable using this method, as it has additional forms of DRM.

Best Mashup Albums
Mashup, or bastard pop, or bootleg, is a musical genre which, in its purest form, consists of the combination (usually by digital means) of the music from one song with the a cappella from another. Typically, the music and vocals belong to completely different genres. At their best, bastard pop songs strive for musical epiphanies that add up to considerably more than the sum of their parts.
