Ok so basically, someone cracked a code that people obviously do not want posted publicly. Thus legal action is being imposed? And people are pissed off why?

There's a bigger picture here. It's not just the fact that they posted a key, it's the fact that the companies are even trying to put DRM on media that should be legally possible to copy (for personal use).

Yes piracy is a problem, but we're in the digital age and the corporations need to stop thinking like we're in the 80's with analog media and start thinking of the future. For instance TV is changing and won't ever be the same and advertising companies are starting to figure out how to still make money, maybe the MPAA and the RIAA should do the same.

There's a lot more to it than just that, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Here is where this all began. if you start from the first page it goes through the entire process of cracking this key. Its pretty crazy the minds these guys have to understand just how encryption works etc.

Basically what the big fuss about all of this was that its about the US government putting regulations on information on the internet, Censorship, and the control of information that should be public. It gives rights to the MPAA and RIAA to censor websites from disclosing information submitted by a person. The US Government does not own the Internet and never will, it is owned by the people and will always be owned by the people. This has a huge impact on what we all do on a daily basis. Its bad enough that the mass media censors to get public approval for government actions, if we let the government take our last form of unregulated information we will become slaves to what we read. If the government gives rights to the MPAA and RIAA to give out cease and desist orders to websites, who’s next? Giving another organization to give out cease and desist orders for talking bad about the war and government? That’s what we call communism.
What would happen to 'Style if all of the sudden certain items that talk about George Bush suddenly disappeared because the governement allowed the republican party to censor certain items that could prove he went into this war for oil instead of the search for WMDs?
