Sorry, but where's the security failure?  Where can you buy hardware
devices that can copy HD disks?  Or download software that does, with
a readily usable interface?

In that sense, even CSS hasn't really been broken.

Even the flurry of DMCA takedown notices isn't necessarily a bad move.
It might help to shape the future of how access to content is
regulated in some very particular way.
