From the "news that breaks the Internet" department comes this video from YouTube, posted by a culture liberator named muslix64. Our anonymous hero offers this footage as proof that he or she has broken AACS, the copy prevention software used on HD DVDs to stop you from making lawful backup copies of your HD movies. What I love about muslix64 – aside from the hacking skillz – is that this taunting video has got the style and panache that you'd expect from a movie geek who also likes to play with software. I mean, muslix64 has actually made the frakkin command line look exciting! And the movie we see in muslix64's demonstration couldn't be better – it's Stanley Kubrik's Full Metal Jacket, a narrative about the cruelty of authority and liberation through anarchy. Hmm, do you think muslix64 is sending a message? Maybe not. At the end of the vid, we get to see the rest of muslix64's hacked movie collection . . . uh oh.
