So we were just wondering here what would happen if someone got the HD DVD key tattooed on them. Any site that lists the AACS key/crack is getting legal takedown notices… if someone gets it tattooed, would a lawsuit forcing them to never show it to anyone be launched? Would they try and force a removal?
Well, email me your photo if you get it tattooed and feel like testing your fate!

I don’t get it…
DragoBloodlust on May 2nd, 2007 at 1:24 amSeems BluRay’s gone the same way, yay!
Not that I’m equipped to capitalise on it, I just like seeing Sony kicked about a bit…
toast on May 2nd, 2007 at 1:24 amDragoBloodlust - it can be used to disable the “copy protect” (drm - digital rights management) on high definition DVD media, facilitating free copying of the data therein. That is, it lets people make back-ups.
Oh, and torrents. Huge, 20 gig, high-definition torrents.
toast on May 2nd, 2007 at 1:27 amTook me some reading to understand but thats freaking awesome, I love this kind of stuff.
Its always gonna be the way it is now and theres no way to get around that. They need to just realize that.
People used to copy vhs’s, now we copy dvds, it just takes more technology.
iol on May 2nd, 2007 at 1:30 am20 gig torrents are crazy!, i hate downloading anything near that big.
Im used to doing 5 and 6 gig ones which are usually quick depending on how many people seed it, but 20 gig ones just take so long!
I have 5 250gig harddrives full right now (almost, about 50 gigs shy), of movies, shows and music from the past couple of years.

JenO33 on May 2nd, 2007 at 1:43 amGeeks fighting back against corrupt corporations by getting illegal numbers tattooed on themselves…
when did the world turn into a Philip K Dick novel?
TeaDream on May 2nd, 2007 at 1:51 amThis post is a thought crime.
Good work Shannon, however I feel you *may* have a little too much time on your hands making that gif.
Then again, who the hell am I to talk?
jOELTRON on May 2nd, 2007 at 2:17 amIs it really pathetic that the only thing I can really think of is that an eight sided die is technically not a D8 but rather a d8?
Colin on May 2nd, 2007 at 2:22 amnot at all Colin, not at all.
TeaDream on May 2nd, 2007 at 2:33 am….I see what you did there.
Camron on May 2nd, 2007 at 3:24 amgood for you for posting this :)
Alex on May 2nd, 2007 at 4:15 ami just really dont get this. i thought about it over and over. it may be because im blonde?
whitneytx on May 2nd, 2007 at 5:03 amwhen did the world turn into a Philip K Dick novel?
Long, long before any of us were born. Before Dick was born, too.
Marshall on May 2nd, 2007 at 5:13 amAnyone remember when CSS got cracked, and people started making t-shirts with the source code for deCSS printed on them?
These elaborate protection schemes just attract the attention of crackers. The only way to ever stifle this kind of thing would be to start lobotomizing children at birth.
Mark on May 2nd, 2007 at 6:04 am2+2=5 guys! embrace big brother.
Zar on May 2nd, 2007 at 6:09 amhuh?
kris on May 2nd, 2007 at 6:19 amGEEKS !!!
but quite useful…
candycovered on May 2nd, 2007 at 6:28 amto follow up on #8 (Colin) - as any chemistry major knows, the symbol for Dioxygen is actually the capital letter O followed by a subscript number 2. Unlike the hex pair 02 which is just numbers :)
Joanne on May 2nd, 2007 at 6:48 amComputer geeks are notorious for substituting letters and numbers when the context will be clear. That’s obviously hexadecimal (obvious to a programmer, anyway), so the letter O is an unambiguous stand-in for zero. It’s just the kind of thing that a hacker would do.
Mark on May 2nd, 2007 at 7:13 amnice. if i had a hd dvd player i would be dancing.
VIVA LA RESISTANCE! ^_^
Mess on May 2nd, 2007 at 7:21 amMan, if i had the money, i’d do it. Hell, if it’s not done by the time i have money, im doing it.
Vern on May 2nd, 2007 at 7:38 ami totally do not get that riddle….. am i dumb?
dox on May 2nd, 2007 at 8:22 amWow. Even on Modblog. This is an amazing night for free speech.
Mike on May 2nd, 2007 at 8:46 amToo big of a hype, it’s interesting and a bit cool, but not ALL that. That’s what I think anyway.
Jimmy Landby on May 2nd, 2007 at 8:56 amYou clever goose….
Miss Kayla* on May 2nd, 2007 at 11:13 ami swear i remember some fella getting an encryption algorithm tattooed on himself. or maybe it was just his public key or summat?
mkb on May 2nd, 2007 at 11:42 amWhat I don’t understand is how ‘they’ thought it would never get into the public domain in the first place..
It’s pretty lax.
RooRaaah Crumbs on May 2nd, 2007 at 12:14 pm#23 - check digg… this code made it fall over today…
rob on May 2nd, 2007 at 12:29 pm#27, that was me. I have the code tattooed on my dick - so I can decrypt DVDs with my hard-on, and when I’m flaccid it serves as handy reminder of my ZIP code!
John Doe Jr. on May 2nd, 2007 at 7:02 pmWow… that’s a brilliant riddle. :)

Check it out, it’s probably what you already think it is, though the melody and such could be a bit different.
I would embed it, but I’m not sure how shannon would have felt about an embeded video.
Skip3s on May 2nd, 2007 at 9:30 pmWhat would you suggest as the best websites for downloading torrents? I used to do it, and now can’t for the life of me figure out which are the “good” websites to use. Any suggestions?
David on May 2nd, 2007 at 9:32 pm#32 i’m pretty sure he disabled it on modblog ;)
Jimmy Landby on May 2nd, 2007 at 10:11 pm#33: Torrent Portal (http://www.torrentportal.com) or Mininova (http://www.mininova.org/)
Auryn on May 3rd, 2007 at 1:48 am#33, i use torrentspy, piratebay, and isohunt. Happy torrenting.
Vern on May 3rd, 2007 at 2:23 amThis was soo cool!!! DRM sucks, freedom of speak rules!
