@delroth in a fair amount of these cases it's impossible to dump these keys clean room... which is concerning if this move sets precedent

(i know this doesn't make the point you're making any less valid, but i am big into 360 stuff so a very minor nitpick, the key you linked on xenia is the roamable obfuscation key used for very little and most games will work without :P

the retail xex2 key however... github.com/xenia-project/xenia )

@ipg @delroth "impossible to dump these keys clean room"

it doesn't matter. technically just reimplementing the crypto on its own (without the keys) is a DMCA 1201 violation

@Rairii @ipg it's part of what's required for a DMCA 1201 violations*

But yeah, that's why I'm facepalming very hard at everyone focusing on the presence or absence of keys. Literally doesn't matter as long as you have the code there to decrypt copy-protected content.

@Rairii @ipg @delroth Forgot what VLC ended up doing for DeCSS but wouldn't be surprised that they just include the key, because France/Europe has more sane laws.

@ipg thanks, let me fix the link. It indeed doesn't change my point :-)
