it’s like lolfrendz asking us to take down captioned pictures of animals where the full story of the picture can not be determined based off of the picture alone and discussion of the implications of said pictures is not allowed.
taken to an extreme, if we acted the same way towards our posts, either through threats (we get a few), or requests (we also get a few), our site would slowly become void of pictures, and nearly all comments would be censored due to someone taking offense.
this post is not about the code… but how the post was censored. it’s relevant, and more of a meta blog post than anything.

Oh, this is ridiculous. Nobody is coming after this site. The deliberate unauthorized release of copyrighted materials, though… they should go after people for that. It’s what I pay taxes for.
Sweet! So Cheez, this cat is carrying secret data that the government doesn’t want us to get!? He’s Kitty’s like the R2-D2 of the filesharing revolution!
At first glance, I thought the numbers were the prison number for the jailed kitty on the top level and the bottom numbers were the prison numbers for the jailed kitty (who can’t be seen) on the lower level.
I guess I was pretty close to correct! Thanks for the info; I had missed all that.

Feeling stupid, and might get flamed for this comment, but imma post anyway. So okay, now that I understand the origin and meaning of the code (thanks to everybody who ‘splained that for those of us who had no clue)…
What does it have to do with the kitteh? I mean, of all the pictures to put that caption on, why this one?
This joke has *clearly* gone way over my head. I apologize for my bubblehead. (lol bublz)
Ivykins – I think the reason for using this particular image is that the cat is trapped behind bars – it is locked in by the HD-DVD encryption nonsense – and can’t do what it want until it’s broken out of its prison, i.e. cracked the crypto, using the Forbidden Key.

not you too
I came here to escape that!

What a great place this is!! Keep it up!
