[WikiEN-l] HD DVD key mess - OFFICE/Foundation?

[Philippe Beaudette]

Agreed - in fact, I would go so far as to say that very few legitimate reporting organizations are going to print the key in their newspaper, encyclopedia, radio story, or magazine story.  They're going to say that the key was disclosed, but they're not going to say what it is.

I think that's a good model for us to go by.

  As explained earlier, it is perfectly easy to write an informative and
  useful article about the topic without ever feeling the need to quote
  the string in question.
