Blu Ray ripping already possible?

With most of the delay to next gen optical systems being down to security of the digital stream, a small oversight is already making it possible to make a direct copy of the content. The German computer magazine c't discovered that it is possible to use screenshot functions of the player software to record the movie when it's played full screen. Ok, it's all very manual at the moment, but wouldn't take too much effort to capture each frame and save it ready to be rejoined with the rest later on. Rip the audio and lay it over, and there you go.

This process would work on both the new Sony and Toshiba laptops, with Blu Ray and HD-DVD players, respectively.
