Did you know that you could get into really big trouble if you post the code beginning with 09 F9 11 02 on your website ? It is very likely that a takedown notice will be send to the owner of the website as soon as the RIAA, the AACS or some of their lawyers find your website. You might be wondering why they are making such a big deal about this code that continues to be 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 which only some users might identify as the code to rule them all.. aka the processing key that unlocks the content of every HD-DVD available up to this point.
Did you know that this was the processing key that ends with 63 56 88 C0 ? I did not until I read an article where the AACS sent some takedown notices to websites owners who mentioned the key. So, what is actually happening now is that this key will be reproduced on thousands of websites who report about this takedown notices, it will be available in caches, in forum entries and in many other places including custom created T-Shirts, Mugs and Mousepads. It seems that the takedown notice somehow backfired on the AACS, don’t you think ?

the entire world will know that number at this rate.
Digg has been disabling accounts and deleting stories. They took down a story that got about 3000 diggs because the key was the main focus of the story. This is getting retarded
Sorry, I meant to say 15,000 diggs. 15,000.
I’ve seen this number so much now I have it memorized. Does the MPAA own part of my brain now?
@mikey, yes, run for it before they catch you haha :P

What’s so funny about Digg is when they first started, there were comparisons made about Digg vs. Slashdot; i.e., Digg would let everything be posted vs. /. using “screeners” to determine what’s displayed.
Digg makes some money and feels as though they have something at stake now, so they change their policy to be one of “we’ll allow anything which won’t cause someone to sue us”. In the same breath, they say by following the rules, it will help them “maintain a democracy”.
I think they’re walking a tightrope and are trying to avoid looking soft to their community but are being coached by TPTB (The Powers That Be) to avoid anything involving media and content control. If they wimp out completely, someone *will* go to the lengths of hosting in a safe location and let everything be posted…as Digg promised everyone from the onset.
Stick around, someone’s going to put a Digg 2.0 together and Digg can rely upon stories about the first person to set up a kool-aid stand died and the obit is on the web site of a backwater newspaper.
Digg will be come dugg. As in “dugg themselves into a hole in the ground”.
You’re either open, or you aren’t.
(This is akin to Microsoft portraying the spirit of OSS and failing to even come close. They’re slamming the door on Visual FoxPro development and say they’ll release, “kinda/sorta a lot of the source”. You can’t be kinda/sorta virgin or pregnant. You either are, or you aren’t.)
Digg stock climbs 14.625 points on the Weenie Stock Exchange. Before long, they’ll probably have a stock split.
