Update #1: Digg has recanted their censorship over the DRM Scandal. Kevin rose posted:But now, after seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you’ve made it clear. You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. 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.Seems like a bold move on Digg's part to maintain some semblance of civility on Digg. But behold that it's a PR move more then anything else, who knows if they'll revert back.
The row centred on a 'cease and desist' letter sent by the body that oversees the digital rights management technology on high-definition DVDs. It requested that blogs and websites removed details of a software key that breaks the encryption on HD-DVDs. The removal of the information from community news website Digg was a step too far for its fans. As quickly as stories relating to the issue were removed, they were re-submitted in their thousands, in an act described by one user as a "21st Century revolt". The site collapsed under the weight of the attack at one point. - BBC NewsEveryone that read this, everyone that dugg it, everyone that witnessed yesterday's revolt was part of a historic moment in time that will forever be remembered as the day where the users called the shot, the day where democracy truly reigned supreme, the day where the people said NO!
