Default The Day Digg went Crazy: HD-DVD encryption cracked

Digg tried to clamp down on the distribution of the simple hex code which most people wouldn't know what to do with it... and a immense backlash followed

http://www.blogyoulikeahurricane.com...ent-crazy.html

http://www.markrobinson.ca/2007/05/digg-users-flip-out/

Diggers humorously attempted to bypass the censoring by the site administrators, dug up dirt one why digg was trying to surpress this information (corporate sponsorship?) and went nuts.

My personal favorite is the song.

FIRST. DIGITAL. RIOT. EVAR

come participate!

Ir0n1c4lly, I shall never bother to rip/pirate a HD-DVD... as my TV is EDTV (420p) only anyway... and regular DVDs look fine on my 22" monitor

hmm really.

i quit going to digg a while back after i realized that if you weren't part of a little "click" of people you'd get buried no matter what you found.

kinda funny it's getting called a "riot" tho.
i may have to check it out.

all i see is hex codes, digg-bashing, digg-prodding... everywhere
