wilson:
Has the DRM of BD video been cracked and are there p* BD video floating around in the regular places?

Clondalkin:
Yes (as regards the crack), but BD bootlegged disks are still not practical to mass produce due to expensive blank media.  I think it's almost Yen2,000 per 25GB (single sided) BD-RE at the moment in Tokyo.

However, there is a gazillion of BD and HD DVD 720p rips in mkv containers available in your usual torrent sites.  Size ranges from 4.5GB to 8.5GB each movie.  Quality is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.  You can literally press you nose against the PC monitor at fullscreen mode and still be wowed by the clarity - that would effectively transform your viewing experience on a "small" 22 inch PC monitor to at least 40 inch HDTV from 6 feet  :) :) :).  Goodbye avi and divx movies once you watch this quality of rips.  Unfortunately (or fortunately perhaps), I don't think our internet infrastructure in the Philippines is sufficiently capable to handle this level of file downloading.   Even 1080p files are available which are usually from 10GB-45GB (the analogy in SD is original DVD copy) and they are very heavy on the CPU, the GPU and memory resource usage.
