The great HD-DVD protest
06:21:53 pm, Categories: Miscellaneous In the last couple of days, there has been a lot of news about a certain hexadecimal number, starting with 09-F9.
See, for example, this story on CNet, this one on Slashdot, or this story on the BBC website.
The story nicely shows the power of the Internet. Once a secret is on the Net, it can not be suppressed. As Lauren Weinstein notices, "you can't effectively censor the Internet."
Wired collected some creative responses to the crackdown attempt.
Another one is this artwork using Google Earth.
I also like this letter, since it shows the absurdity of the whole thing: the number is quoted in a legal letter...
