DeCSS was "cracked" because Xing accidentally included an unencrypted key in their firmware.
The encryption wasn't cracked, it was subverted by poor security practices.
If Xing hadn't screwed up, it may have been another decade before it was possible to rip a DVD, waiting for some other manufacturer to screw up.

- pdntspa 4y agoI had friends running timing attacks against the Xbox 360 encryption key around that time, they never publicly disclosed their work but I saw them playing games on a hacked firmware around mid 2000s. No reason to think this wouldn't be the same for the CSS encryption key.
