Sweet Catastrophe

Anyone catch all the fun on Digg last night? The way I understood it, the story went as follows– The HD DVD Encryption Key was dugg. No big, hacks and cracks can be found on dgg all the time! Well, Digg was asked to take it down, so they started deleting articles from digg that contained it. Everyone spoke out, so Digg blogged that they would no longer delete the stories, even if it meant that digg would end up getting shut down. At this point, they apparently started manipulating the number of diggs on these articles to get rid of them that way. It hit the fan after that. For a few hours, the front page of digg was covered in nothing but articles, mostly faked, about this encryption key. Eventually, the site went down!

I just thought it was funny…Damn the man! Viva la revolution ;) haha
