Just a nice story about how the new AACS key got on the web.
he world became a little more magical yesterday with the publication of a new “processing key” that can be used to unlock the AACS copy protection on the latest round of HD-DVD movies. This event is remarkable not only for its timing–barely a week after the release of the discs that the key was intended to secure–but also for the clever way in which the key first appeared on the net. Though this second part of the story hasn’t received much attention, it deserves to go down in the annals of hacker lore.
