More people know how to crack the encryption on HD-DVD disks than own HD-DVD players.

Another theory: Most people who 'rallied together to fight the man' yesterday and dugg stories like there was no tomorrow, don't remember even the first 4 digits of the key by today, much less what to do with it in the fist place.

I get what you're saying but you're being too generous. They don't know how to crack it, they just know the encryption key.

How about this:
More people know exactly where they can find out how to to crack HD-DVD's DRM than have even considered buying an HD-DVD player.

A more generalized theory:

More people want to pretend to be rebels for a cause than those who understand (and sometimes support) the cause.
