hddvd encryption cracked

here is the hardware key for decrypting all hddvd's:

09:F9:11:02:9D:74:E3:5B:D8:41:56:C5:63:56:88:C0

i'm only putting it here to see if i can get one of those nifty DMCA cease and desist "takedown" letters asking me to remove this key. the creators of AACS (the encryption system used on HDDVD and blu-ray discs) don't want this key published because its knowledge by the public allow anyone to write software to playback and copy HDDVD's by decrypting them without first either obtaining a license for AACS or permission from the movie studios. from what i understand this key is not valid for decrypting blu-ray discs.

score one for fair use kids!
