The HD-DVD has been apparently been cracked, and high definition content is now being distributed freely over BitTorrent. The first HD-DVD to be uploaded to BitTorrent is Serenity, the Firefly movie.

According to HDTV Blogger, the torrent is “a 19.6GB file in native EVO format that should play on PowerDVD and WinDVD with HD DVD playback.” Apparently, he got a “very, very nasty email” after posting about the first HD-DVD torrent. It seems the anonymous mailer was upset at the fact that he was bringing unnecessary attention to the P2P community. Looks like his plan just backfired.
