Blu-Ray Already Ripped on PS3

Via IGN

As soon as we installed Linux on our office PS3, it was clear that trouble would be brewing quickly. We began taking bets on how soon someone would hack the PS3. While we haven't heard of anyone truly cracking the PS3 software yet, thanks to Linux, Blu-Ray movies are now being ripped onto the PS3 hard drive.

Multiple sites, including PVRWire, are reporting on gamers illegally copying movies to the PS3 hard drive. Once the large file is on the hard drive, it's possible that someone could figure out a way to burn them.

It only took a few days, but already the Linux PS3 has enabled piracy. As the months continue, users are certain to find other ways to exploit Sony's new console. The fault lies with those committing the crime as the majority of those who download Terra Soft's Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 are likely doing so legitimately.

Burn them? Come on... Torrenting them is the bigger problem, and hell, that isn't even that difficult if the PS3 can run Linux, it can certainly a Torrent client.

Wow... the homebrew scene for PS3 may be up in no time.

The next thing will be full games booting off the hard drive.
