What is the secret code used by the technology and movie industries to prevernt piracy of high-definition movies? It’s a string of 32 digits and letters in a specialized counting system. Anyway, the story is that people are becoming more creative in posting this code.
Keith Burgon, a 24-year old musician from New York, has an improvised soulful melody that details the code.
“I thought it was a source of comedy that they were trying so futilely to quell the spread of this number,†Mr. Burgon said in an interview with The New York Times. It’s posted in YouTube and you can watch it here… Wait… if you want to sing along, here’s the lyrics: “09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0″
