If true, this information will allow anyone to create their own source or sink keys, essentially making HDCP useless for content protection permanently. No word yet on how it was obtained, but if true, this is a great day for content freedom around the world!"

    Why did I get 10 scornful responses from musicians? Is all content music? Do you musicians honestly believe that it is as easy to write a game or novel or screenplay, or produce a TV show or a movie, as it is to lay down some tracks? Music is EASY compared to the rest. Music comes from your highly trained muscle memory and your limbic system. There's practically no thinking involved at all.
