7-11-2007 Keys

heh heh, I bet someone could get that for you on the DL 😉

Oh man, the beauty of the educational institution discount….

Yeah that’s exactly what’s verboten 😉 Zeke had a pic for the dvd encryption/decryption, but Fark staff asked that it not be used, even in part. When the 09 F9 thing came out several months back, it was forbidden to post on Fark for legal reasons. Unfortunately, even though it’s very old news at this point, the potential for Fark to get sued over it is still there if they allow it to be posted, so they’re playing it safe.

hufff…..and I suppose “cays” are out as well? It will probably save us a geography lesson 😉

Yeah, I thought I would take a pic of Fisherman’s Quay up the road from me, but I figured that would be pushing it.

/got nothin’

No encryption keys, per Fark policy.

What about decryption keys? I have a ripper idea for 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 …. 😛

could someone please explain what this is for those of us that live under a rock?

mucho thankso

The short version: earlier this year, a cryptography key used to decrypt HD-DVDs and Blu-Ray DVDs was successfully exposed, and published on the internet. A couple months later (shortly after the Fark redesign fiasco happened, to put it in context) someone posted the key on Digg. The MPAA had been putting the smack down, and leaned on Digg to do something. Digg’s mods deleted the post. Rinse, repeat, wipe hands on pants. Long story short, Digg’s user community revolted, posting the key in every single post, in most every comment. Eventually that the guy that runs Digg had to step in and made the statement ‘our community has spoken, they would rather we go down fighting than bow to the MPAA.’

The whole thing has become a rallying cry for internet freedom and freedom of speech, and it’s certainly showcased the power of the internet community to make its voice heard. The problem is that the legality of posting the key is still cause for debate; whether they have any real legal footing or not, the MPAA and friends have no problem leaning on major web sites and threatening them with legal action. So… many major sites tend to err on the side of caution and try to avoid the can of worms being opened on their site wherever possible.
