    In Web Uproar, Antipiracy Code Spreads Wildly

    SAN FRANCISCO, May 2
    — There is open revolt on the Web.

    Sophisticated Internet users have banded together over the last two days to publish and widely distribute a secret code used by the technology and movie industries to prevent piracy of high-definition movies.

    An online uproar came in response to a series of cease-and-desist letters from lawyers for a group of companies that use the copy protection system, demanding that the code be removed from several Web sites.

    Rather than wiping out the code — a string of 32 digits and letters in a specialized counting system — the legal notices sparked its proliferation on Web sites, in chat rooms, inside cleverly doctored digital photographs and on user-submitted news sites like Digg.com.


    “It’s a perfect example of how a lawyer’s involvement can turn a little story into a huge story,” said Fred von Lohmann, a staff lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group. “Now that they started sending threatening letters, the Internet has turned the number into the latest celebrity. It is now guaranteed eternal fame.”

    Whatever you do, don't post 09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0 once again, that's, 09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0 is a naughty number - the AACS LA might get you, so you don't want to repeat 09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0.

    Again, make sure you keep 09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0 to yourself, otherwise the world might end up with ruinous things such as Fair Use, which would prevent the movie industry from charging you twenty times for the same movie. That's what happens when you repeatedly post 09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0.

    It is apparently an encryption key that is used to keep you from copying DVD movies and music and such.

    Beyond my knowledge of computers to use, but I am sure that with some digging, a program could be found that uses that code to crack the encryption in order to make copies of movies and so forth.
