Digg feeling the Wrath of their own Community It all started when Digg decided to pull a story that revealed the HD-DVD AACS Processing Key number. The story had received over 15,000 diggs and was still going strong when Digg pulled the plug. The reason that they did this was because they were contacted and told that posting the key was a violation of intellectual property rights. Digg didn’t want to have to deal with any lawsuits, and so they complied. tech.cybernetnews.com Update:One of the founders of Digg, Kevin Rose, posted and update on their blog saying: We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be.If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying. He put the key in the title of his very own post, and said “Digg This.”
