  • isn’t this a bit too much?

  • LOL U R NERD!!!!111

  • QFT!

  • […] So… how do you DMCA a tattoo off of a person? Am I allowed to tell people that it’s a “09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 tattoo”? Is a magazine permitted to print photos of this tattoo? Can the tattoo artist or shop (Good Faith Tattoos, Boston) be sued? Can the person wearing the tattoo be sued? Can a corporation force a medical procedure (a tattoo removal)? Can they force him to always wear a shirt? Well, Rich from The New Freedom has decided to be the bait! […]

  • Good talk.

  • You do realize, they can change the key, and it won’t work on anything from here on out, and probably only works on some of the titles available today?

  • You’re ridiculous.

  • that guy better come up with a good lie for what that tattoo means or he’ll never get laid again

  • I doubt its a tattoo. Its just a sticker

  • Awesome! Sick tattoo!

  • Hi! Good to see you’re making backups. We’ll call you if we loose our 4,921,588,209 copies of the key.

    Best regards,
    The Internet.

  • Talk about a spur-of-the-moment decision. Too bad for you that they’ve already put together a new key several weeks ago, and there won’t be a single disc in the future that anyone would be able to decode using your tattoo.

    But hey, at least you’ll always get that year-old copy of “King Kong” working in Linux!

  • “that guy better come up with a good lie for what that tattoo means or he’ll never get laid again”

    that assumes he got laid in the first place

  • “Take down” is supposed to be written as two words.

    “Take down” = an action
    “Takedown” = a thing

  • Your money would’ve been better spent on a gym membership.

  • That’s fucking dope.

    ROFLMAOTTYLBLOWMENERDSTTFN!

  • I got a tattoo of the magic key on my testes that I will post on my web site soon.

  • […] In the meanwhile the code was out and spread like mad over the Internet, buttons, registered urls, cartoons, newspostings, cafepress shops (always a good indication), you name it. Undoubtly we will have 09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0 tattoos tomorrow on the social buzzing network. (update: about 2 hours after i posted this blogposting: tattoo) […]

  • Awesome, I love removable tats! Eh, what’s that! You EEDIOT! J/K its cool but I suppose a holcaust victim would think you were a real tool

  • WOW look u are not the only one

  • You guys are missing the point, this is internet history, nerds and hackers are gonna rule the future. Great fucking Tat. A sign of the times indeed.

  • This may be a much bigger story than we think. The first battle of the internet wars has been fought, and the people won. Time will tell, but this may be one of the biggest stories so far this century.

  • lol @ “one of the biggest stories so far this century”

    try global warming or september 11th

  • hehehehehhehe

  • It’s not a real tattoo. This took place supposedly quite recently. After you get a real tattoo it is all bloody and gross for a week or so before it heals. Funny idea though.

  • rad. we love you.

  • he’s kinda hot

  • “This may be a much bigger story than we think. The first battle of the internet wars has been fought, and the people won. Time will tell, but this may be one of the biggest stories so far this century.”

    What? Won? Why, because Digg backed down in the face of all you whiny brats? Just what do you think the “war” is? The law is still unchanged. In fact it’s not even being challenged. Not to mention, this whole incident is nearly indistinguishable from the DeCSS key crack of a few years back. You digg children believe you’re the center of the world, for some odd reason.

  • Why? Just why? The key is out there, they won’t be able to get it down even if they try. This achieves nothing other then making you a complete tool. (assuming you weren’t before)

  • I hope there is no typo …

  • […] No way, not this guy! […]

  • The numbers themselves are irrelevant. Yes the encryption will be changed. However, what is important is that the entire encryption system has been cracked and can be repeatedly cracked by following the same checksum changes and calculating the new algorithm to determine the new encryption key. The publication of the number is a celebration not a revelation, it is the proverbial shot across the bow of the crypto-facists who increasingly want to quash the freedom of exchange of ideas via the internet. (And the a-holes who encrypt even new plain ol’ DVDs with DRM that locked up my DVD player. Oddly enough the a-holes who produced the disc are the same a-holes that made my now defunct dvd player.)

    Tattoo Guy, I hope you are not a tattoo artist or a collector, because if the work you do or the work you get is bloody and scabby to the point of indistinction someone is doing a totally crap job of tuning their machine and blowing out the skin and the lines.

    Moron.

  • on the “never getting laid” thing:

    Girl: That’s a weird tatoo, what’s it about?

    Guy: I was protesting censorship in a protecting-free-speech sort of way. I don’t like how corperations try to control things. I’m really passionate about people being allowed to express themselves.

    Girl: Make me express an orgasm!

  • Hahaha! This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen yet on the AACS issue.

  • You are a fucking idiot…

  • damn that is awsome

  • […] İşte hafif dangalak ya da bu eylemi gerçekleştirirken sarhoş olduğuna inandığım bir elemanda tutup, hd-dvd kodunu göğsüne dövme yaptırmış. […]

  • Your a fucking idiot, i hope you regret that for the rest of your life

  • Whether or not this tattoo is real, you cannot tell that from the picture. I have very similar line work on my arms, and, as you can see, even right afterward there was no blood or goo. Once I’d removed the bandage and cleaned it, that was that. So this COULD be legit.

    But it would still be retarded.

  • I honestly don’t understand why people find this retarded. Who cares if it’ll be outdated soon, it still stands for something. Who cares if it’s ‘already everywhere’, barbed wire are also everywhere and I don’t see tattoo parlors taking them down anytime soon. Finally, just because it isn’t a shark fighting a bear fighting a monkey with a stun gun and doesn’t have some deep profound spiritual meaning to you doesn’t make his tattoo decision any less valid.

    But I guess he doesn’t care what we say anyway. After all, he posted this on the internet

  • Internet fads are fun, but tattooing them in is a bit much…

  • You’re a fucking idiot. 20 years down the road you’re going to still have that on your chest and your children are going to ask you what it’s all about. You think saying some stupid shit like “During the ‘Great Digg Riot’ of May 2, 2007 I decided to take a stance against censorship in the most inane and stupid way imaginable. I had a decryption key tattooed onto my chest to prove that you can’t silence information…and to prove that there really should be IQ tests required to breed. Luckily, they aren’t and I managed to find a woman as vapid as I am, you know her as ‘mom’. “

  • Somehow my last post cut off, it should say “is going to keep them from laughing at their dumbfuck father?” at the very end after the quotation mark.

  • “lol @ “one of the biggest stories so far this century”

    try global warming or september 11th”

    september 11th???
    wtf?

    September 24! Now that’s a day to remember.

    Q: what’s even more stupid than getting a code tattooed on your body?

    A: the geeks who complain about your tattoo.

  • Euh, idiot.

    The dumbest thing i’ve ever seen, they are actually working on stopping the releases of current hd-dvd’s and plannig a new worldwide release with different encryption code and different algorythms.

    In your face, stupid’ass.

  • Excellent! You rule!

  • He should have gotten it tattooed in mirror or reverse. Or at least upsidedown. How is he going to read it?

  • Guys, This guy this taking everyone for a ride and you guys are eating it. What makes you think it is not written using a pen?
    All the other pictures on the site are photoshop’ed. If anyone is interested, I would happily make a tattoo for you without you having a tattoo. I will only photoshop for you on your boobs i mean females only. Email me.

  • I bet he thought he would be an internet celebrity, unfortunately he is just another internet idiot.

  • This image was modified using Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) software package. Fake!

  • […] For me personally, an interesting element of the story was trying to understand the source of the passion for the community. There are numerous examples of that passion, with individuals tattooing the code on their bodies, singing the code, printing it on t-shirts, etc. But where did this passion about a relatively obscure topic originate? […]

  • […] From 100,000 to over 2 million google search results growth in one day… The impressive power of blogs.  They are going to have a hard time censoring the above hex number. A couple of related amusing links: A poem written around the banned number. One of the main Digg threads, while it lasts… (scroll down for great ascii art). This guy has tattooed the banned number onto his chest. […]

  • Oh, for heavens’ sake, that’s a f’n hairy chest he’s got there. All he has to do is let it grow back over the tat, and problem solved. Hell, by the time this the hair’s grown back, AACS will have been permanently cracked and we won’t have to worry about any of this.

  • I guess he thought it would be a bigger deal then it already is, the number is defunct it’s no longer controversial and the meaning of the tattoo will soon fade away, and all will remain is that a very stupid decision he made one day in May (alcohol must have been a factor).

    Wow. You’re so into piracy that you’re willing to permanently deface your body with a code that’s no longer relevant to anything. You are such a tool.

  • woah… Now that’s extreme!

  • Wow you walked into a Tat parlour with a series of numbers and letters scrawled onto a bit of paper and got a tatoo of the Production key to AACS on your chest.

    What next? get a forehead tatoo when it’s fully broken?

    I suggest you write ‘STERILE AND RETARDED’ on your nogging because you sure don’t want to be passing those genes on.

    I like the tat concept, it stands for the stupidity of big corporations always wanting to encrypt, encode, lock, and hide everything they can profit from. But thats just part of todays capitalistic society, so as far as its meaning really causing change, it wont. So lets go crack the next code and start tattooing that on ourselves! But seriously… If you can code it, someone can crack it. Nuff Said.

  • Why don’t publish the Number with algorithm?
    If U do that U do not offense against the law.

    For example: user give the input and algorithm generate a number. Notify user: “Please do not type c0, because it generate the Number! Blah-blah…”

    If user type c0, then he/she produce the Number, not you. Who do offense against the law?

  • tattoos rock, plain and simple
    i have no idea what you are talking about
    whats the key
    who locked what ?
    can he unlock it with his chest ?

  • As the co-owner of Good Faith Tattooing, I can honestly say that none of our artists did this tattoo. Bottome line is, we do not know “Rich” and his tattoo is not done very well.
    Our artists do work of a much higher caliber. Stop by our shop at 1018 Comm. Ave. 2nd floor, and you will see what I am talking about!
