The distinctive shape of a Lava Lamp(TM) is also a trademark, and they market Lava Lamps(TM) that only have the shape, not the content.
So even if the words aren't used even in description of an actual Lava Lamp(TM), reproducing the image of a Lava Lamp(TM) on-line would be another trademark violation (in an over-zealous lawyer's eyes).
If you own the copyright to a work, you own the copyright - nobody can take that away from you. But you can sign it away via a coercive contract that stays just shy of duress. (Possibly also by "by using this service"-ing it away.)
It remains the key to already published disks and can be used in conjunction with software to defeat the DRM on those disks. Those disks aren't just going to cease to exist just because new titles (and reissues) will be pressed with a new processing key.
That being said, clearly the DMCA should be ruled unconstitutional, and the fact that it hasn't is a travesty. But that in no way is anything but our opinion. Well, even if it isn't ruled unconstitutional, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be repealed as a bad law the People do not want. Otherwise you could end up living under the most oppressive laws you can think of, as long as they pass constitutional muster.
Or worse, they could decide that technological copyright protection needs to enshrined in an Amendment, and it will take a failure on the level of Prohibition to get it back out again.
It should be clear with the scope at which this key has been reproduced that We the People do not want the DMCA. Let us have our backup tools and prosecute those who abuse them under the law as it was before.
But posting the encryption key to the content is not the same as talking about the encryption key to the content So... the current processing key for AACS (the FDebDCC-code) is like the N-word: you can talk about it, but you can't use it?
Quick! someone publish it as a part of a rap song!
Well, that's hardly a memorable tag by which to search for articles about the issue. I recommend tagging it with "fdebdcc" instead, which are the letters lifted from the hex code. Or better yet, just "aacskey".
And the list of known primes is published... why not just automatically try each large prime? There are a large number of large primes for one.
But there's something I don't understand about this processing key: it isn't prime. I can tell that at least four of its factors are 2 by sight alone. I'd be interested in an explanation why this number isn't a prime number.
Are you telling me that projects like the one trying to find the largest prime can't publish that they've tested this number as a prime? I doubt they'd bother: it ends with a zero.
Please don't make the mistake that all the Wall Street hotshots make, of thinking that paper is real. It's postings like this that make me wish I had command of perfect recall of quotes from "Ruby: The Adventures of a Galactic Gumshoe", or at least that someone had bothered to transcribe the whole thing and put it online. (The one and only time I've I heard it was on Sci-Fi Channel's Dominion website's Seeing Ear Theater.)
There was a bit in it about money: how a piece of paper and money were really just both pieces of paper, differing only by one of them being "blessed" by the treasury department.
Of course, I'm not doing it justice without the exact quotes.
Michael Ayers, chair of the AACS business group, said... "But a line is crossed when we start seeing keys being distributed and tools for circumvention. You step outside of the realm of protected free speech then."
You say that like "protected free speech" isn't redundant, Mr. Ayers.
I got up one morning and couldn't find my socks. So I called Information. She said, "Hello, Information." I said, "I can't find my socks." She said, "They're behind the couch." They were. -- Steven Wright

The recovered melody was paired with traditional lyrics (translated into Latin) and recorded;
I doubt that the resulting pair of lyrics with music was necessarily correct. Even going by cadence if you had them in their original language you can't be certain. After all, you can sing the lyrics of Nine Inch Nails' "Mr. Self-Destruct" to the tune of Molly Hatchet's "Flirting With Disaster" (with a little verse juggling).
I foresee a ThinkGeek T-shirt with the codes on. So did Dunbal on Tuesday February 13, 2007. Though the hype of recent censorship may get it printed sooner rather than later.
I'd be very freakin' happy if sudo offered to pop itself up to help me run commands when I needed it instead of having to manually call it. I think that it does not pop up is a feature. Generally, if you don't know what you need to do would require sudo and why, it is assumed you shouldn't sudo it unless and until you do.
Suicide booths should require you to know how to enter them, not helpfully teach you that you need to push in the safety release button before you turn the handle.
"The fact is that Microsoft is late to the party with their Microsoftized version of sudo. That's really what UAC is, after all: sudo with a fancy display mechanism (to make it hard to spoof) and extra monitoring to pick up on "suspicious" behavior.'"
No I'm serious man.. I'm just pointing out that the Thomas Paine quote "lead, follow, or get out of the way" isn't a list of all options. I'm wary when someone says, "these are your options; choose one." Why do they say those are the only options? Why aren't they listing others? Are they not aware of other options or do they exert more control by excluding options unfavorable to them? Why choose only one? Why choose any?
But can I import them into iMovie or Final Cut (Express or Pro)?

The code was copied, not stolen. Indeed, when talking about movies and music we have contingents so ready to say "copyright infringement isn't theft" but when it's unpublished source code the terms "stolen" and "theft" are used without any hesitation.
Can't we just agree to say "illegally copied" across the board?
Part of the problem is some studios have forgotten they even own the rights to some movies. Electric Dreams is one such movie, the only DVD copies being unofficial copies made from VHS releases. Some are only available in other countries and/or out of print such as Prime Risk. Flash Gordon has been long in need of a US re-release. And I want to see Bruce Campbell and Walter Koenig in Moontrap again, and have ever since the similar Virus (1999) came out. I'm sure Terminal Entry is as bad as I remember it, but I'd like to see it again. And where else but in Deadly Friend can you see an old woman get her head flattened by a basketball?
Nevermind the TV series that have yet to be considered for release like Whiz Kids (had a early crossover with Simon & Simon, being released on DVD, in its third episode), or even TV 101 with a young Matt LeBlanc. Even more recent shows have yet to come out that have some public interest, like Strange Luck. But with the original series now coming out on DVD, there's a small hope that Mission: Impossible (1988) will get released.
I don't expect Drive will come out as it was canceled after four episodes with two more maybe being aired this summer. I'm glad I decided to record them in 720p on my computer. Mid-season and late-tail season series premieres look to be good hunting ground for content that may never get published on durable media.
