- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -12/+32yeah, i buried it as lame. i wouldn't be surprised if enough other people did the same thing and that took it off the front page.

Please, stop ***** up Digg, post this crap somewhere else. - StillGaming, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14Nice knowing you, z00k.
- bluephoenix, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Most likely these stories are being buried by users who don't want to deal with the homepage spam again.
- Lacero, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13buried, like I did the last lame story.
there was no censorship, moron. - danakin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10So censored that this made it to the front page.
Whine harder. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10It got buried because it's ***** lame.
Edit: It's still on the front page dumbasses. - DanY, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Marked as lame
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Marked as Spam.
- Calcheesmo, on 11/08/2007, -0/+634 -32 - 12 That's my old football locker combo. For all of you interested. Christ...lame
- pigg123, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8buried as ubbbbbbberr lame!
- retral, on 11/08/2007, -7/+13You people posting this are idiots. It's like you EXPECT digg to participate in something illegal completely knowingly, when they were pursued for the same thing before.
Are you TRYING to shut down digg? - reticulate, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10Not this ***** again.
- WickedDrag0oN, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Ohh for ***** sake. This is annoying, enough with this AACS *****. DO NOT ruin digg for me today. If digg becomes useless today I am gonna be bored as ***** at work.
- Pissed off digg user who doesn't give a ***** about AACS - BishopAzrael, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7I buried that story and this one both as LAME. You loosers dont get it. WHAT THE ***** CAN YOU DO WITH IT? Nothing. There are no people using it. Jesus, just do me a favor, shut up, send the number to DVD Jon and let him get to work and shut up already.
- scabbers, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I have a DVD player, so I don't give a *****.
- dpb33300, on 10/11/2007, -17/+22What a shame you would think Digg learned their lesson the first time.
- kablammo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Marked as a cry for attention.
- whahaa, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6i love that the digg terms of service gets dugg down.
- ShadowKlown, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Lol that would be even worse if they started deleting accounts again too....
- GraceMolloy, on 10/11/2007, -5/+9Guys, the first time the code was in a COURT DOCUMENT. Doom9.org does not extend the same kinds of public information rights that legal documents have. You can't honestly expect them not to remove these stories.
- 1359399, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Errr. No. It's still here: http://digg.com/security/455FE10422CA29C4933F95052B792AB2_AACS_Processing_Key
- TheCaptainJS, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4There are multiple stories that arent searchable, like the woot one which disappeared quickly and was not searchable, but you could still link to it.
Edit: *****, I guess this one falls under that category too. - Abenzio, on 10/11/2007, -6/+10Buried as lame.
- StillGaming, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2-diggs from the ignorant.
- rzurad, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3edit: post removed by me.
I was gonna post some smart ass comment about copyright and censorship, but then I decided to grow up. - canewediggit, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6the contract is not a moot point. it's still valid. you agreed to it, you have to honor it. just because you don't get your way all the time is no reason for acting like a baby and ruining the site for those of us that understand what 'i agree to the terms and conditions for using digg' mean.
you don't like the tos? don't sign it, don't use the site. go start your own, www.pligg.com. nobody is forcing you to be here, you are choosing to. and since you made that choice, you have to play by the rules. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2uhh, its the second most popular story right now, right under this one.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5which is why you, or anyone else who didn't read the terms before signing up, have no right to complain
- djbon2112, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4Burried as spam. Seriously, STFU. Do you WANT Digg shut down?
Idiots. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@canwedigit
Last I looked a series of numbers isn't copywrited material so how the hell can it be against the TOS to post it?
***** - DigDugDigger, on 11/08/2007, -4/+5Glad to see I'm not the only one on Digg's side here. We shouldn't let one code shut down the site we love, if you really want the code there are plenty of ways to get it without spoiling Digg for everyone.
- griz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1How many of you who keep posting this number in various places and are rallying to this "cause" know how to use this number?
- awtripp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@canewediggit
Well, I strongly disagree with that reasoning. Passing on knowledge is never the problem. It's how the knowledge is used. I thought that was obvious. - Knucklecallus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1look, who cares if this is taken off the front page. all it does is get digg in trouble. find this on another site, search for it on google.

"yeah, i buried it as lame." - NicksVideo, on 10/11/2007, -6/+6tl;dr
- Shizlak, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3Its the fact that they aren't up front about it that really sucks.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2HERE WE GO AGAIN............
- totallyAMAZING, on 10/11/2007, -6/+6OMG Censorship!!!! On a privately owned website..... If you want to not be "censored" get a web host and make another crappy blog. Then you can post the AACS key all you want and see how fun it is to have lawyers calling you. Idiot.
- NicksVideo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3@omgwtfroflmaox2
You obviously didn't get the joke. - fl272, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0@Smeagel
Unfortunately, it illegal. It's what is known as an illegal number. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number)
Title I of the DMCA could be interpreted as making possession of that hex key illegal, because the law has such a broad definition of what constitutes circumventing DRM. If you had a good enough team of lawyers, you could make an argument that CyberLink's DVD Software (Japanese Version) and Microsoft's XBox 360 HD-DVD Drive violates part "C" of this (below), because the programmers "that person" were probably at least somewhat aware of the gaping holes in their firmware and software (which allows AACS to be circumvented) that the marketing department "a person acting in concert with that person" marketed. I am not saying that they do violate this law, just that the definition is much too broad and could be expanded to almost anything.
Note: Those two products by Microsoft and Cyberlink were reportedly used by the people who circumvented AACS specifically because they had vulnerabilities.
(a) Violations Regarding Circumvention of Technological Measures.—
(2) No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that—
(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title;
(B) has only limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title; or
(C) is marketed by that person or another acting in concert with that person with that person’s knowledge for use in circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title. - fl272, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Forgot to say that I didn't think it was physically possible, but DRM both sucks and blows. (Paraphrased from Bart Simpson)
- clearzen, on 10/11/2007, -5/+5@canewediggit (#6939724)
Perhaps you don't understand this site is driven by the users. If you start pissing off the user base that submits most of your stories you are screwed.
At that point the "contract" entered into for the site is a moot point really. - smeagel, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4@retral
I'm still confused about how posting a hex key is illegal. You can't own a hex key. That's like if the password was the number 138, would it be illegal to have 138 posted? That pisses me off more than anything. - sjbdallas, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Regarding the legality, i'm wondering if someone could patent a few hundred keys then sue the when those keys are used?
- frickafracka, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1pussy
- gooddoggytreat, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Marked as delicious.
