That's the Diggers rebelling against account cancellations brought on by people posting the HD-DVD decryption key (09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0) that lets you play most such movies in Linux.

It seems Digg folded under studio pressure and not only deleted the stories posted, but also cancelled people's accounts.

Needless to say, the Diggers didn't take kindly to such a thing. Guess that crowd thing cuts both ways huh?

I have absolutely no idea what this code-stuff is all about.

I need help converting my old 7” reel-to-reel tapes over to those plastic CD thingys.

Will these codes help me? Thanks ..................... FRegards
