This number is incredibly expensive. Or at least it could be fot http://www.digg.com
It’s the HD DVD processing key that allows people to watch HD DVD content. With it you can watch HD content and decrypt it from it’s media, even though ‘The Industry’ doesn’t want you to. Oh, and apparently it’s copyrighted so under the DMCA my posting it here is illegal etc etc.

Digg.com is a web 2.0 site depending on users to act as contributors and editors. They are being sued by an anti-piracy group for posting this number, discovered by a hacker, as part of a story on their website. Originally, they took it down upon receiving a cease and desist letter but put it back up after protests from contributors. Company founder Kevin Rose said in an online statement, "You'd rather see Digg do down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won't delete stores or comments containing code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be."

Wow, cool. Giving it to the Man.

See, I would love to use these numbers, somehow, but I would have no clue how! Too bad you can't use them to win the lottery or something. It almost reminds me of the cursed numbers on LOST. Eeek!
