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.

The best, and indeed only IMO, reason to remove it is that we're an encyclopedia, not a newspaper, Slashdot or a public graffiti wall.
I presume there's no reason all the same not to mention it in the HD-DVD article?
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.
