Web-page aggregates links to "forbidden numbers" used to break HD-DVD
Yesterday, I blogged about how the DRM-licensing body that controls AACS (the crippleware in Blu-Ray and HD-DVD) censored my class blog, threatening legal action if we didn't remove a link to the Doom9 forum, where a forum member described the flaws in AACS. They also insisted on us removing a 16-digit number, the HD-DVD "processing key," a piece of information that can help you back up your DVDs if you know enough about software (a program called "BackupHDDVD" can do the heavy lifting for you).
Now, more than 10,000 "diggs" point to the page linked below, which contains links to many other places where you can find this information. Link (Thanks, Rudd-O!)
