Mob Takes Over at Digg, Widespread User Revolt
pronetadvertising.com — "Just a few hours ago I was writing that there was a reason why Digg had censored an article pointing out the HD-DVD Processing Key. While Digg is right to do so, and Jay Adelson has explained the reasons on the Digg blog, this hasn't stopped the Digg community from a full-fledged revolt."

The more you consume, the less you live.
Commodities are the opium of the people.
Burn commodities.
You can’t buy happiness. Steal it.

Down with spectacle-commodity society.
Down with journalists and those who cater to them.
Only the truth is revolutionary.
No forbidding allowed.
Freedom is the crime that contains all crimes. It is our ultimate weapon.

- tommytux, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Since Digg is now practicing editorial control over the content, perhaps it's time to remove this statement off of the home page as well:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"What's Digg?
Digg is all about user powered content. Everything is submitted and voted on by the Digg community. Share, discover, bookmark, and promote stuff that's important to you!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hey Digg, now that you have started excercising editorial control, you should be held responsible for ALL CONTENT!!!!!! Including slanderous comments and copyright violations.
LOL - Absinthminded64, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Digg is bigger than the threat they perceive. If the power of my collective voice is backed by a bunch of sissys I vow to leave Digg for several month's time.
Seriously. There are better ways to deal with this type of situation and Digg has had a lot of practice/time to prepare.
Bye.

Uh... no.- das7282, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Why aren't they? Do you own the site or do they? It's their site, they can do what ever they want. If you don't like it, don't use their site.
And for that matter, what's the big ***** deal with the DRM in HD-DVD's? Do you own the rights to that movie? Does that movie "belong" to you? So what gives you the right to download a free copy off the net? Or if you want to buy an HD-DVD but don't like the DRM it has on it... though *****, don't buy it. You do not have an absolute right to watch what ever you want, however you want. - truthseeker69, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0@das7282

- p0tent1al, on 10/12/2007, -19/+94How many times do we have to explain to peeps that Digg is wrong.
1. hexadecimal numbers CANNOT BE COPYRIGHTED.
2. They still haven't explained why they banned everyone for criticizing them, WITHOUT MENTIONING THE KEY.
3. Slashdot received a takedown notice, and didn't succumb to it like digg is succumbing now, so all the losers saying that we don't understand, no, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.- hdtvdust, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5You are not a lawyer. That is obvious. How many tiems does it have to be explained thjat ***** ognorant teenagers giving the Digg lawyers legal advice is pretty ***** stupid.
- milo3600, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Damn right. The key is all over the place. Its been on reddits front page all day. Nobody else is being bullied to take it down. This is entirely down to the sponsership issue. If Digg thinks they can put their sponsers before their users they have completely forgotten what kind of site they're operating here.

Why not? You can copyright software and you can represent ANY software program as a hex number. Hence you should be able to copy a hex number.

Watching Digg Swarm, you can see SOMETHING is going on behind the scenes. Tons of diggs on article then.... Nothing.- pants428, on 10/12/2007, -12/+9because its getting ***** annoying to see the same story posted dozens of times, and people are starting to bury them?
- TuxNuts, on 10/12/2007, -13/+6"This incidence only goes to show that the social web is a great tool in the hands of the masses, but in the absence of any moderation or regulation, the masses can become a mob; and this tool in the hands of the mob can lead to nothing good."
Freedom bad! Censorship good!- Ahnteis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5>>Freedom bad! Censorship good!
Really? You aren't proving it. If an external viewer were to examine digg right now, they would be forced to conclude that freedom leads to stagnation, idiocy, crowd mentality, and no actual discussion.

- jstohler, on 10/12/2007, -10/+93OK, the big secret is out. Can we have our old Digg back? I miss the pictures of stacking frogs.

Chill out people - TomK88, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14This is idiotic. Do you expect Digg to just sit there and get sued?
- ShBm, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2For letting someone post a number???
- TomK88, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1It's a legal gray-area. The number could be used for illegal activities. Would it be legal to post an access code that would allow you to withdraw all of the money from an ATM? Probably not.
