So I spent most of the whole night reloading my phone. Apparently I really pissed it off when I kept turning the radio off and on trying to get it to go online while I was bored. Well, after a few times of that, it didn't want to boot anymore.

I finally gave in, hard reset the bitch, but then decided that if I'm reloading everything, I'm upgrading to WM6 and I did. So I missed all the action and the collective 0xFU to the MPAA. *sigh*

Fortunately for Big Media, it's sooooooooooo easy to delete things from the Internet! Tomorrow, it'll be like it never happened. Send a C&D to Al Gore to have the whole Internets taken down? Hire Ted Stevens to park some big trucks to block the tubes?

Good thing they're sending out cease & desists didn't attract more attention to the cracked code. Someone at the Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator is gonna have a bad day tomorrow. lulz.

heh, it's been the biggest story on the interweb the past few days, digg had a meltdown and open rebellion among it's member base for deleting posts/stories with the key, and finally reversed itself. slashdot nor wired will take it down. wiki has locked the entry and not allowing anyone to edit the wiki page to add the key.

the cease & desist letters are nothing more than a scare tactice, since the key is a number, and under u.s. law, number's can't be patented nor copyrighted.
