I enjoyed the heck out of this site long ago. I'm sad that it has come to this.

I enjoyed the heck out of this site long ago. I'm sad that it has come to this.
This feels like a mega-spam entry, and I'm very self conscious about posting it, but I'm excited about this and I wanted to share . .
The AACS fight versus bloggers is just started...DreamHost Abuse/Security Team
Hello,
We have received complaint from the Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator (AACS LA) regarding a posting to your site at the following location:
It appears that on the page above you are publicizing their AACS processing key "clave en cuestión", which can be used to decrypt the Fair Use-encroaching digital rights management (DRM) software that their firm provides to content owners for use in HD-DVD players.
While we believe that the "cat is out of the bag" and that their AACS system is inherently flawed, the similarly flawed Digital Millennium Copyright Act's anti-circumvention rules technically makes this a violation of US copyright law. As such, we have had to remove access to the above site by renaming its parent directory. Once you can ensure that the above entry is no longer visible, you may re-enable it.
The AACS' legal counsel has provided an email address of csims AT proskauer DOT com for you to contact should you wish to do so.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Jeff,
