Last week the encryption key for HD-DVD's was leaked on many tech blogs, and quickly spread all across the web. The encryption key would allow for software or hardware decryptors to playback or copy the new form of DVD media.
An AACS executive commented that just because the key was leaked does not mean that copy protection was broken, instead he suggests that with the key HDDVD's can only be played in a couple software players, and they cannot be copied.
Executives are going after bloggers who posted the key. In particular the site Digg.com which recieved thousands of posts containing the key eventually gave in and stopped removing it. The AACS served them a legal "cease and desist" and now they are taking care of it.
