Great time to spread the anti-DRM movement this. Specially for us indians, with stupid yashraj films coming out with DRM, it's not too far from Indian shores now, too.

Yo bhai, that yashraj films thing sux even with DRM. I downloaded the dhoom 2 song with DRM & it told me to register to get the license. Well, I don't want to...so? I can't use it.

Down with DRM. We have already paid for our music in either CD or digital purshace, so we should have the right to delete it, play in a loud speaker, play in car, play in phone, play in XBOX or whatever. We already paid for it

I know, dude! I know this is totally a deep issue and all that involving moral rights and politics and whatnot!

I was just trying to have some fun, that's it. :p

Man, this is serious stuff! More than thousand diggs in the matter of a few minutes!!! Whoa!

I just clicked on the link and then read a few comments. When I refreshed the page fifteen minutes later, the diggs had jumped from 25,000 to 26,000. This is crazy!!

The iPhone was nothing. :D

The New York Times reported this story today
In Web Uproar, Antipiracy Code Spreads Wildly

I loved this part :D
In both cases, the users who joined the revolt and published the codes may be exposing themselves to legal risk. Chris Sprigman, an associate professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, said that under the digital copyright act, propagating even parts of techniques intended to circumvent copyright was illegal.

However, with thousands of Internet users now impudently breaking the law, Mr. Sprigman said that the entertainment and technology industries would have no realistic way to pursue a legal remedy. “It’s a gigantic can of worms they’ve opened, and now it will be awfully hard to do anything with lawsuits,” he said.

^^ and it made history because of those cease and desist notices of lawyers. You know that the hack was already out in open in February? It was so funny to read that nytimes article. By doing the stupid thing of sending those notices...the DRM protection companies actually helped a silent hack become immensely popular. :D

The bay has the key on it's welcome page.But i read in digit that the manufacturers can change the key whenever they want but it will effect those users who have already bought HD-DVD players.Maybe manufacturers will have bios updates for changing the key for old users if it's flashable by some secure method not known to pirates.

^ Read mehul's arstechnica link. According to hackers the cracks have given them major knowhow about the technology. Now, they know how the encryption is working and where the Volume IDs are stored.
"This hack/technique enables us to figure out how the Volume ID is stored on the disc," arnezami explained. "It's very possible we would figure out [...] how the KCD is stored on the disc. Knowing that and being able to teach a PC drive how to read a KCD will open the door for what I called third-generation decryption."
Click to expand...
So even if the companies change the key...the hackers will still be able to by-pass the encryption by making some minor updates in the existing decryption hack ;)
