You cant own a random a random 128 bit number but thats exactly what the entertainment industry is trying to do. In fact, according to the AACS im not allowed to publish this number: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 (oops my fingers must have slipped).

Im failing to see the sense in how a corporation can own a “random” number and stop anyone from publishing or even knowing that number. So in effect, im breaking the law just by knowing that number.

If you want you can go and grab your own 128 Bit numbers here.…did I mention they were random.

Is it just me or is the entire notion of trying to prevent people from having access to a random number completely rediculous.

p.s - If I hear another person say that Digg got “hammered” over the entire affair, I may just chuck a blogging hissy fit. They did the right things, how bout you show them some support you tossers!
