Five days, that is how long the original post by Kevin Rose has remained online. There are over thirty-six thousand ?diggs? for it. In what is turning out to be an interesting look at the internet, censorship, and DRM management as a whole, the news about this story will not go away quietly in the night. That is assuming it goes away at all.

Last week, someone posted the thirty-two digit key, called a processing key, to a website. That site in return, later received fifteen thousand ?diggs? and made it a popular item on the user driven news site Digg. The story starts there but the attention in the media over the last few days is the reaction over the processing key and its meaning. The AACS-LA who uses the key to protect the content on HD-DVD and Blu-ray movies says that the posting of the key is paramount to piracy.
