Expected to be unbreakable?

By whom? All the decryption keys are in the playback device, it's just a matter of probing for them.

I've yet to read of Blu-Ray hurting the consumer (except for all the usual 'regions' garbage) in an obvious way e.g. key rejection causing legitimate consumer's players to flip out (as you can guess that's a prediction), but then Blu-Ray's not too widespread yet.

However, this is yet further proof that no amount of encryption, multi-key, uber-layer crud is going to even slow down piracy because, unlike PGP/GPG, there are no secrets.

Worse than useless.
