wouldn't it be amazing if something like this happened in China? I mean their government are the kings of net censorship. I imagine digg is one of their banned sites, but it would be an interesting uprising if some injustice that they tried to censor had the opposite effect and the whole population became aware..
Did you read the article? The first several paragraphs were about how the "Streisand Effect" had backfired against big media and tech companies. The slide show has other examples of humiliated companies like EMI and Cisco. Try reading more than the headline.
Excellent that such a revolting individual -- who was able to make an entire career out of the rampant ethnic nepotism in the Judeo-liberal entertainment establishment -- would be immortalized in "The Streisand Effect."

Forbes seems to agree with Dvorak's recent remarks that lawyers are making things worse, but it much more articulate.

Not excellent that a revolting anti-semite like you reads Digg.

The term the Streissand effect was not created by forbes. It is a term that Mike Masnick of techdirt jokingly coined when writing about the effect referring to a previous story he had written. <a class="user" href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20030624/1231228.shtml">http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20030624/1231228.shtml</a> <a class="user" href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070511/133311.shtml">http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070511/133311.shtml</a>
