The string "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C03 is the HD DVD processing code for coping your HD-DVDs to your computer. This was handed out by the HD DVD people in a cease and desist letter and the fact they handed this out was a shock seeing how it's their private password to protect their content.

But Digg, the editor-free news site, has been editing their news to remove these stories. So far they have not even allowed stories about the HD DVD conflict to be posted without the "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C03 key.

UPDATE: Kevin Rose has offically recalled the crap they pulled and appologized. No word on the banned accounts of the people who posted the code.
