I never even heard that one. I just noticed that working on 30+ dells each summer that each key had FCKGW in it...I thought it was just a weird thing...Cool...

Well, we hope that everyone reads this thread closely. Because anyone who puts this code in their sig will get an automatic vacation.

And just in time for the summer

Oh geez. I dont have the money too, but im itchin to get the 360 HD-DVD drive.

I watched Constantine in HD, and it was spectacular.

Isnt there some new version of software like AnyDVD that lets you play HD-DVD without all the HDCP crap?

Is the Blu ray hackin still goin on? Last I heard they were able to rip from linux on PS3's.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

Again - I'm EXTREMELY "protect intellectual property rights" and won't try to skirt fair use laws to justify doing what I know isn't right.

What I don't get is why MPAA or whatever their organization is doesn't have qualified people handling this. I still say the black hats have them beat. My guess is they sourced their needs to another company and there wasn't complete accountability for failure to deliver.

It's about delivery and two-way communication. Otherwise it will be cracked.

=====
Obviously, I cannot post my personal opinion while I am wearing the cop hat. And obviously, I cannot speak on behalf of all Mods. We cannot officially take a stance on this, except to cover ourselves and this site and prohibit the posting of the code.

Yea, we gotta do what we gotta do.

Mod.

I'll say again - it's the static media that is the problem. Until the MPAA realizes that they are lost. But they are in a losing position IMHO. They want to control the content AND the delivery - not gonna work in today's processing world.

Sounds like the guys doing their method have read too many textbooks on what is and isn't crackable.

Sadly this outcome was predicted.

 

[LordNoob]

The code can clearly be heard if you listen to the Schoolhouse Rock song backwards in an echo chamber while holding a conch shell up to your ear.

Well what they're trying to do is impossible to protect; they're using cryptographic technology designed to keep B from seeing what A<->C are communicating, and instead making the user both B and C. You can't simultaneously give someone the ability to decrypt something and not decrypt it at the same time, it just doesn't work in the long run.

Edit: And now Slashdot has picked up on it. It's going to be a long night :Q :beer:

Shouldn't FAIR USE imply that I can use it once I buy it? Serves 'em right...

You are correct, you posted before the warning. That is why you were given the opportunity to edit your post and were not just bounced.

Thank you,

Mod.

i haven't dugg up a single one of these stories. the only thing this indicates is that the masses want to be in power, and digg's democratic potential actually is more powerful than the digg staff has been left to think (i personally question the democratic power at times; now the staff learned the hard way, which to me is GREAT because they didn't seem to want to change it).

but having recently been in my own 'legal battle' due to freedom of speech on the internet (actually, the legal letters are still in progress... hey, maybe i'll have a real comeback on AT by posting about it here), digg is obligated to remove any content that infringes on copyrights and violates laws. this is very much the case.

at the end of the day, digg needs to protect its own ass (and so does AnandTech), and the reputable sites will be forced to take it down. i'd imagine that all these new blog sites promoting the decryption key will soon be issued their own cease and desist notices (oh, the power of the clueless)... freedom of speech is one thing, but if you know how to hack a sensitive system and actually publicize it, you could be in a lot of legal trouble.

taking these risks is a troublesome game, especially since Digg had to remove the posts for a good reason... and people posted this info not caring that they are the next targets.

You know the person that invents that type of cipher will be very rich (Bill Gates rich) or very very dead.

I'm sure it is possible to do, however it won't be something practical giving the unchangeable nature of Optical media.

Never going to happen. It is like giving a person a key to your house. Your house has been owned the best you can do to stop people from steal stuff is bolt it down but with time any bolt can be removed.

Very shortly, someone will release a hddvd decrypter software!hehe

My only concern is if the intellectual property owners will now back out of hd-dvd in favor of Bluray to protect their content? Releasing that key may ultimately seal HD-DVD's fate.
