Can anyone else verify? This requires image magick.

This is a source mirror someone posted of version 2020.09.20.

Image magick was being an absolute butt trying to convert the archive to png, so I used https://rawpixels.net/  instead with RGB8 and saved/cut it up manually at 512 width.

The full image got JPEGified by twitter so I chopped it into 512x512 and that survived posting.

For those of you new to this game. We've been here before. http://decss.zoy.org/  Read up on DeCSS and AACS encryption keys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controversy

So, hey yall! Love all the RT's and interest. Read the history of DeCSS and AACS.

I would also suggest that you save and repost the images, as one single source kind of defeats the point. Maybe start a hashtag trend or something. Make songs, and poetry. Get that data out there.

Learn about your favorite file formats, stuff binary and text data in them. Giant midi files where notes are data. MP4's where delta values are data. Preserve and back up, make local git forks (you can store them on any cloud share).
