A lot of sites have been getting DMCA takedowns for the HD-DVD
processing key that got leaked recently.
My question to the assembled: are cryptographic keys really subject to
DMCA subject to takedown requests? I suspect they are not
copyrightable under the criterion from the phone directory
precedent.
