Interview With Mastermind of HD-DVD Crack

With the break of the HD-DVD implementation of AACS - and the imminent break of the BluRay equivilent - the man known as "musilix64" has become something of web celeb in the past few weeks. This interview goes into a nice description of his methods, his fears about future legal problems, and, most interestingly, his motivations:

With the HD-DVD, I wasn't able to play my movie on my non-HDCP HD monitor. Not being able to play a movie that I have paid for, because some executive in Hollywood decided I cannot, made me mad...

After the HD-DVD crack, I realized that things where "unbalanced" by having just one format cracked, so I did Blu-ray too.

Not exactly the malicious, devious hacker the MPAA is undoubtedly going to portray him as.
