This number is mine!

Go here to get your own number:

Here's the background:
"The people who control AACS, the copy protection technology used on HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs, are apparently trying to shut down websites that publish a certain 128-bit integer. The number is apparently a “processing key” used in AACS. Together with a suitable computer program, the key allows the decryption of video content on most existing HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs."

And of course, we do not like being told that certain numbers "belong" to a certain industry. So we give them a taste of their own medicine (how childish!). So head on over to that web page, read more background information and get your own 128 bit number.
