Oh my. Someone went and leaked a HD-DVD key on Digg (far from the first place it ha appeared). The world’s worst piece of legislation is invoked (DMCA) and they get a take down notice. They try to implement, only to surrender to an overwhelming flood. Indeed, you can read about nothing else on Digg at present.
What continues to amaze is that the MPAA and the RIAA and the like continue to believe that they can make DRM impenetrable. HD-DVD is still a niche product and yet it has been subverted. It’s somewhat concerning that they think they have a right to a string of hexadecimal digits. It’s even more concerning that the US government is behind them all the way. And it’s just plain daft to believe they can put this genie back in the bottle with a few cease-and-desist notices.
Anyway, just to get in the game: 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0. Hurray for the UK – surveillance society, but not ruled by the media companies (yet, anyway, although the EU Copyright Directive is bad enough).
