HD-DVD key has been cracked. Get the hex here:

You'll probably need some epoxy and some good clamps to fix that
crack. Or maybe JB-weld. But if it regularly stands up to a lot of
torque, you'll probably want to get a new one. DAGS.
And I don't need any new hexes - if I needed a hexagon, I'd probably
set my bandsaw table or miter guage to 30* and cut the piece upside
down to get the 60* angle, since I don't have a miter saw or table
saw. A shooting board with my low-angle block plane would make it
nice and smooth.
Sorry to hear about your key,
Andy

The reaction when Digg deleted a post containing the code was
certainly intense.

If I was digg, I'd have put up a content warning then permanently banned
every account that posted a story deliberately about it.

What point is that when people can sign up again under a different name?

Digg needs its users to survive. The users can desert them for any number of
similar news sites that would be more than happy to accept them. And the users
made that point very effectively, yesterday.

Any respectable forum should make an account mandatory for posting
*and* make the applicant wait 24 hours to receive the password. Kind of
like gun purchase cooling off period (fark.com does this). This helps to
reduce the number of l33t haxxors/wankers/spammers that just want to
quickly sign up for a spray job. Digg must have sufficient numbers of
genuine non warez-fanbois to get by without these freeloading jackoffs
whose fight is with RIAA/DMCA/whoever but fail to understand digg not
only has to please its sponsors but also toe the law.

And I've never seen such a pack of dopey retards crapping on about stuff
they know **** all about.

If you had any fucking clue what to do with it, you'd realise that
BackupHDVD was using it so long ago that it's already been revoked.

If it's so useless, then why is the group responsible for designing
the content "protection" keys getting all hyper about issuing DMCA-based
takedown notices to everyone under the sun?

I would also point out that it has spread like wildfire on the 'net
itself, in one of the most magnificent cases of electronic civil
disobedience since DeCSS. Any wagers as to how long it'll be before the
T-shirts appear? ;-)

Keep the peace(es).

And an admirable job of it you've done, fish. You DO know that there
are both good and bad impressions, do you not?

yes, these posts weigh heavily on my mind; will some dickless idiot like
my post, will some crossposting moron try and insult me. I sometimes
lose sleep.

Luckily I have people like yourself to bring me to task.
