Wow, it seems like you actually co-designed BD+, HN never ceases to amaze me.

It would be really cool if you could go into more detail, this is extremely interesting! Especially the second paragraph.

I'm far from an expert on BD+, so this is pure speculation, but it seems to me though as the patches doesn't work properly because they can't patch the fundumental part of BD+ which Slysoft has figured out. It would be really weird if Slysoft actually have managed to find a completely new flaw in BD+ for every BD+ patch that is released. It seems much more likely to me that the patches can't actually fix the flaw itself, they can just hide it or change some parameters/keys (which Slysoft know how to find), requiring Slysoft to constantly release new updates to "patch the patches". It may give Slysoft's developers a constant challenge, but it also seems gives them a constant unique selling point that they profit greatly from.

Is this correct or have Slysoft actually managed to find dozens of different exploits in BD+, one for every BD+ patch?
