Attention everyone: The code above me is important. Sort of.

Let me explain to you why this is, before you all go and post it in your own LJ's and blogs.

You may have heard of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray, the so-called "next-gen" DVD formats. Well, one of the major shortcomings that both formats have is in their anti-piracy crap. Essentially, they both elected to use AACS (Advanced Access Content System). For those of you that do not know what this is, think of it as a half-assed attempted at fighting piracy.
The idea is simple: Each disk is encoded using a special cipher. Certain keys will obviously decode the film and allow you to watch it. The idea behind AACS is that it's possible to revoke certain keys should an evil pirate get hold of it. Thus, future releases will require a different key. This means that if you own a HD-DVD player or a PS3 or whatever, you'll have to get an update in order to play newer disks.
So what has this got to do with that number up there?
Well, as you may have guessed, that number happens to be one of the publisher's keys, which would allow anyone to decrypt a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disk, make copies, backups etc. that don't have the crappy protection. Kinda like we can do with DVD.

Well, despite the fact that these keys can be revoked and chagned at will, AACS-LA (the company that owns AACS) has decided to take legal action against anyone who has a hand in distributing the key. They've sent out all sorts of takedown notices and legal threats to the likes of digg.com, but according to google over 1million blogs and such around the world have the key somewhere on it. And I'd like to join them.

Because DRM sucks.
