Video I mentioned on the Scooter Podcast
I know this is a bit of geek-related old news, but for those of you who missed it, here is the video I mentioned on SCTRCST Episode 43 with Cali Lewis from Geekbrief TV and Geoff Smith’s song “Digg the Code”. On May 1, 2007 an article appeared on Digg’s homepage that contained the encryption key for the AACS digital rights management protection of HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Then Digg, “acting on the advice of its lawyers”, removed posting submissions about the secret number from its database and banned several users for submitting it. The removals were seen by many Digg users as a capitulation to corporate interests and an assault on free speech.
