What was untruthful in what I wrote? It seems to pretty much agree with what others are saying? And especially with what you say in this post.
Well, your first sentence, for one. You opened by stating an opinion that’s unsupportable by objective evidence.

k9copy seems to be the tool you would use. Note the admonition not to make illegal copies!
A hacker has figured out how to get a processing key out of the AACS software, and then put it up. Using it, if you know the volume ID of an individual disc, in theory you can have software write a version of the movie that essentially ignores AACS. That won’t help you past BD+, one of the two other security levels on a Blu-ray disc… except, of course, the latter hasn’t yet been enabled on any released BD movie.
The trusted platform requirements on Vista relate to drivers, not hardware. In theory, every single Vista machine on the planet could be made 100% compliant without changing one hardware component. As long as all of the drivers used get certified, there’s no problem.
If your video card supports HDCP output (as pretty much all cards from 2006 on do), chances are pretty good that your machine is 100% high definition disc compatible. My Vista box, in which only the video card is less than four years old, works fine with Blu-ray movies. And, of course, all of this relates strictly to HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs. Other high definition content (such as downloaded movies) work fine regardless.
