 Thank goodness I found this post! Using a Firefox plug in you can block the Facebook beacon URL and this insulate yourself from the EVIL probing fingers of the Facebook people, who obviously have no interest in their user base. Textbook corporate sellout move.

From Wikipedia

09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 is an HD-DVD decryption key that was leaked on April 30, 2007. The source of the leak is unclear. It is of interest to cryptographic researchers, as it can be used to play a protected HD-DVD movie in Linux, bypassing the normal DRM. The key will also allow for programs analagous to DeCSS for DVDs.

In a cease and desist order from the Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator addressed to Google Inc, the letter humorously included the code in question. [1]
