No, the
current version of PS3 HDD Studio will be useless, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
Assuming all they can do is change the encryption, it would still be possible to continue the use of PS3 HDD studio, just as a different version. Because there are enough people working on this (Real stuff, not just modding patches or trying to get cheats to work) that when they change the encryption SOMEONE will EVENTUALLY find the encryption system. At that point all that would be required would be implementation as an update to the program.
Of course this is all assuming that the only weapon they have against this is changing the encryption. If they have anything else, then yeah, we're probably screwed.
