If it's hexidecimal (hopefully I'm not displaying any ignorance here), the how about translating it into another base number system, and posting it that way? Would it still be illegal? How about encrypting the information with a freeware tool, and then posting the encrypted file *and* the key to un-encrypt it? That's going to add whole layers of complexity to any legal argument that could be made! Here’s an interesting way to mess with the AACS: why not translate the Hex Code into something else?

Then what is this fuzz about? On the other hand I think it is totally unethical suing someone for publishing a hex number....
