Thousands of websites published the key, which had been uncovered in a bid to circumvent digital rights management (DRM) technology on HD-DVD discs. Many said they had done this as an exercise in free speech. An AACS executive said it was looking at “legal and technical tools” to confront those who published the key.
Things are going to get interesting now. It’s noted that over 700,000 pages have published the key, our site included. If only they’d worry less about DRM and more about making people want to buy the movie.
