HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) allegedly broken. Someone has apparently released a method of generating the master key that is used to create the keys generated for manufacturers of such things as HDCP compliant Blu-Ray players and TVs. If true this would supposedly be impossible to fix ("they" can revoke regular keys but not the master key without breaking all existing equipment.) A slashdot commenter points to this cryptome message from 2001 outlining this crack in theory. Not sure why it took this long for someone to do it (well, it might be hard I guess, but it doesn't really sound like it.) Will be interesting to see if this is true. Sure sounds like it is.
