[see also: on ModBlog or on Digg if you don’t get the context]
So… how do you DMCA a tattoo off of a person? Am I allowed to tell people that it’s a “09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 tattoo”? Is a magazine permitted to print photos of this tattoo? Can the tattoo artist or shop (Good Faith Tattoos, Boston) be sued? Can the person wearing the tattoo be sued? Can a corporation force a medical procedure (a tattoo removal)? Can they force him to always wear a shirt? Well, Rich from The New Freedom has decided to be the bait!
Edit: I’ve been told to submit this to Digg, but because (continuing in the “Digg loves censorship” meme) Digg has banned its users from linking to ModBlog because they find the content offensive, so it’s not gonna happen.

Could someone clear this up for me, please?
Is this the code to put into DVD players to make them region free so they can play any DVD from any region?
If it’s not that, then what is it? I’ve read the modblog entries and all the other links, but I just can’t put the pieces together…

@Chrissie (#13): This seemingly arbitrary number/letter combination represents a HD-DVD encryption key that got hacked recently (it’s hexadecimal), thus allowing people to bypass the DRM built into the format, enabling them to copy the content.
The content industry is trying to prevent this code snippet from being distributed with all the legal guns that are available, mostly taking down websites.
It`s history repeating – exactly what happened with DeCSS – the DVD copy protection – a few years ago.
Google the code and you’ll see….

I was confused until post #18,19
Thats kind of a big deal for him to have that shit on his chest. I wonder what will happen to him if anything, I mean obviously the AACS is going to have alot of shit to deal with over this but I just wonder what they can do about someone having the code tattooed on them

sweeeeeet

It seems to me that the code is open now anyway, the tattoo does no longer add anything to that.

I would imagine that if they tried to have him remove the number in court, that it could be classified as cruel and unusual punishment. Tattoo removal surgery is supposedly VERY painful
