    Lol is that how they did it? Do they have documentation about it (I’d assume to actually be clear of copyright they’d need to show their work, similar to ibm compatibles of old)

      It sounds like it’s the same situation as the TI calculator signing key which I think was brute forced many years ago, allowing custom firmware to be developed. And also any DVD ripping program which is able to bypass CSS which is also based on a master key that was figured out or leaked. There’s a decent pedigree of master keys not being copyrightable, much to the MPAA / TI lawyers chagrin
