Yesterday I posted about how a mate of mine was taking pre-orders for t-shirts with the HD-DVD decryption code rendered in hexadecimal colours. Super-geeky. I hear from Myles that the shirts are being printed and orders are now being taken on the site — AUD $30 (unless you pre-ordered, in which case you get it for AUD $25). That’s a touch less than US $25 — a bargain. I’ve ordered mine.
I read on Download Squad that there are cheaper Cafe Press shirts available — but:
- Cafe Press shirts are not great quality and
- they’re all white! I only wear black t-shirts!

Don’t you like the way people bag others, when the entire Tshirt colours came them just a simple extension of a few numbers. And a few comments from friends.

Meh! Just promoting piracy really. I am surprised you are even blogging about it.

Peter, once again you’ve missed the point — it’s not about the key at all — it’s about the attempts to suppress the key. When Digg tried to delete any submissions about it, Digg users started flooding the system with posts — showing that they would rather Digg go down completely than be censored. The t-shirt is an expression of those kinds of sentiments — you simply cannot censor the internet, it will not work.

I’m seriously thinking of getting one of these. Neat idea I reckon.
I was a bit late understanding what it was all about I must admit. I saw your first post about the t-shirts and “that special hex code” and was totally oblivious to their meaning.
Then I caught up on some of my feeds and read the whole digg rebellion that I entirely missed =) Its definitely a historic moment I reckon. One that should be captured in some clever way on a T-shirt perhaps… oh there we go :)
