Original RFC Text

Appendix A.  Historical Parallel

The following timeline is offered for context:

1989: 2 Live Crew releases "As Nasty As They Wanna Be". Federal
authorities take notice.

1990: Skyywalker v. Navarro finds the album obscene. 2 Live Crew
responds by recording "Banned in the U.S.A.", sampling Bruce
Springsteen. Members arrested performing their own music.

1992: Eleventh Circuit reverses the obscenity ruling. "Banned in
the U.S.A." is no longer banned.

2018: TLS 1.3 is published as [RFC8446]. Null cipher suites are
eliminated entirely. One zero-byte IKM remains.

2026: This document proposes filling that zero with the hash of the
audio that survived its own institutional suppression. The circle
is complete.
