The goal is to prevent you from reading their stuff from your HD!!! not
from "authorised readers"... They just want to get rid of DeCSS.
If you can do a 1:1 copy of anything there's nothing to stop you

your computer hard drive, but because those bits were scrambled, you
couldn't play a movie from those copied bits.

protection, not a *copy* protection.
So, if you can do a 1:1 copy of a "AACS-protected" DVD, you still
have a working copy... sounds like these people will never learn.
