It's been a crazy day on the web. After bowing to perceived pressure from the AACS Licensing Authority and removing bookmark's, Digg finally threw in the towel. Digg users went on a massive revolt posting link after link after link to all sorts of creative ways of displaying the dreaded HD-DVD "Processing Key" that's not exactly been a secret. 09 f9 11...I dunno, even "867-5309 Jenny" is better lyrics, but I ran across a guy *singing* the processing key lol!

This should be proof positive as to how useless, pointless, unenforcable, and a bad idea laws like the DMCA are. The Inquirer Reports...

THE MPAA is having a go at erasing the fairly public HD-DVD processing key number from the Interweb.

The key, Hex 09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0, was discovered months ago and has been distributed amongst netzines everywhere.

However stories where the key is mentioned have been attracting the attention of MPAA spooks. DMCA take down notices have been issued to sites like Spooky Action at a Distance and Digg.
