BBC Broadcasts HD-DVD Decryption Key

I nurture a burning hatred for the idiot box, but I reserve respect for superdistributing video aggregators who also happen to be TV networks. That’s why I give props to the BBC for broadcasting the HD-DVD decryption key through their tech show Click.

Take that, MPAA and AACS. Copyright trolls can’t intimidate people who know their copyright law.

Lineage II SEA Details

Philippine game publisher AsianMedia releases more details on their upcoming Lineage II Southeast Asian service:

• The monthly subscription fee for Lineage II in Southeast Asia will be lower than $15, payable via prepaid card.
• The Lineage II Southeast Asian service is set to launch in July, simultaneously in the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.
• AsianMedia will pump another few million dollars into Lineage II servers dedicated to all three countries.
• AsianMedia seeks Malaysian distributors for Lineage II.

Good to know gamers across Southeast Asia will now be playing two top-tier MMORPGs from Philippine publishers, the other being Mobius’ EVE Online.
