I think everyone should be pretty familiar with the hot AACS “secret key”, which triggered user revolt on Digg. The story started, as someone posted a story on Digg about the secret key that could actually crack the HD-DVD AACS anti-copying system, but Digg took it down, then triggered the user revolt to get it back on. What else, it’s claimed to be illegal now for possessing or desseminating the secrey key, as AACS LA will be sending legal threat to those sites for holding it and even threatened Google to stop indexing those web pages that have the keys. When writing this post, I did have a pause, thinking if I shall host the picture on this blog here, which I found it on Boing-Boing. I didn’t know and didn’t pay much intention about the news that AACS LA would take actions on sites that show the keys. Anyway, I’ve already had two screenshots captured of Digg, which shows pretty clear of the secret numbers. According to Boing-Boing, there are about 368,000 pages contain the number, up from 3,600 yesterday. Someone, even more daring, had a tattoo on his hairy chest, as shown in the picture above. Goldcoaster got one that is pretty interesting too, the key on a t-shirt. So what? It’s now more than a third of a million indexed on Google, and it’s now everywhere over the Internet, lets see what the AACS LA can do about it! AACS claimed that the HD-DVD is unbreakable. Of course, if you break it, they’ll threaten to sue, that’s it!
