After a little internet research, I've come up with this: That hex code is the first step in enabling the decryption of hd-dvds onto your computer. To the people (including me) who know nothing about coding, it's a pretty big non-issue. However the MPAA started slapping websites with cease-and-desist orders for simply having that string on their site. To add to that, Digg and Wikipedia began deleting posts about it. So in a demonstration of free speech, everyone is e-rioting and posting that string everywhere.
If you want my take on it, I think that Digg and Wikipedia are just instituting their "don't be a dick" policies. I invite everyone to stay cool about the subject, quit posting the hex, and generally "don't be a dick".
Is there a way I can call first dibs on the term "e-rioting"?
Look up Brick, it's a pretty good noir indie film from a couple years back.
If you're in the mood for a laugh and you've ever wondered what a sword fight between Buddy Holly and Slash from Guns n Roses would be like, rent Six String Samurai.
Darn, kinda formatted it wrong. Sorry, I haven't posted anything in a while. You'll forgive me, right? ...right?

Even though I'm somewhat new to MoFi and I'm just a high school kid still living with my parents, I think I'm in on this one.

Not that I'm participating in the madness, but how exactly would I go about using said code?

Is America seriously that bad? Because, you know, I've been living here for my whole life and it seems like a pretty chill place.
