It looks like HD-DVD couldn't manage to keep itself out of the DRM spotlight no less than a month after it claimed victory over Blu-Ray. The concept of having an easily-spotted decryption key floating around in the memory of any playback device that it's being used for is inherently doomed. We discovered today that key revocation means nothing, and the key itself without a little bit of technical know-how means not much. That's not to say that some power-to-the-people hacker won't make and distribute some nifty software to automate the copying of HD-DVDs. I can see both sides of the debate, and have the most fun sitting back and watching the cease-and-desist battles rage on. Currently we've got Wikipedia's HD-DVD talk page and Digg.com at the frontlines of the discussion.
For those unfamiliar, 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 is a decryption key used for a portion of HD-DVDs DRM protection, which was recently leaked to the internet. The MPAA has been going crazy to stop the spread of the number, quite unsuccessfully. The debate raises issues about the copyright status of a number, the protection of trade secrets, and freedom of speech. Great stuff.
