The encryption key that unlocks all HD-DVD movies and allows them to be ripped and copied was recently discovered and has made its rounds across the Internet. In a futile attempt to put the cat back in the bag, the AACS association that is responsible for developing the security technology has sent cease and desist letters to many websites that have published, or even contained a link to the key.
Digg is one of those websites that received a C&D and as a result took down some stories that referenced the key. Tonight the community of Digg is staging a mass demonstration and digging tons of stories to the front page all referencing the key. It remains to be seen what the long term effects of this move will be.
