At what point that may be, it's hard to tell, but as interests in the company grows, the more likely this will happen. This is just how things work.

Digg was registered in Europe by
These guys were using the digg name as well, capitalizing on the come-uppance of the name with a clone project.
They think that Digg is going to sue their pants off. Talk about hysteria.
They decide to preemptively strike using the "flag of opensource love-love".
This is lame and petty.
Don't forget to digall on their site. Oops.. shouldn't that be yigall?
