Yeah, unless the studios use some kind of quantum cryptography - they will get hacked.

Sounds like a fun game to hack HDCP... too bad it's a game that will land you in jail after winning :(

Hell, even then we could probably crack the code. Even if the quantum cryptography system itself can't be cracked, the hardware that uses for encryption/decryption can. Theoretically, you'd just have to monitor the circuit.
