Interesting, though unsurprising, if true. Not well-sourced nor well-presented though. Does not even provide a link to the YouTube video cited in the story.

Essentially the story says: "We saw this video where this hacker claims to have cracked AACS" but we also don't know more than anybody else. There is a bit of background (from the past) but at this time nobody knows more than what's shown in the vid. Could be true, could be fake. But I like the two closing paragraphs in the artciel (about the irony).

This story cites no sources other than the Youtube movie. It refers to the forum where the original claim was posted, but it doesn't seem that the author read (or understood) the comments in that forum---otherwise he would have pointed out that the posted program doesn't extract the encryption keys, it needs to have them supplied. The author appears to be more interested in the implications of cracing the high-def DVD encryption system than in whether Muslix64 actually wrote a program to do so.

Build it and they will come. Hack it, that is. Story may just be a rumor or a ruse as it has yet to be confirmed. Though Muslix has made A Youtube Video showng his skill and kill.
