Movie studios are not particularly happy about a certain number doing the rounds on the interwebs. This number can be used to allow playback of HD-DVDs on Linux.

Movie studios are issuing takedown notices to sites hosting this number, and a quick search on Google shows they’re not doing too well at keeping this number secret.

Yesterday, all hell broke loose on Digg as the moderators tried (in vain) to stop the spread of these stories. They couldn’t, and eventually capitulated to the users demands.

Nice one Digg. Nice one Digg users. The revolution starts here (well, maybe).

Techcrunch has more on this.

Edit: I wonder when someone will change their name by deed poll to the number..
