  I liked Digg right up until they folded like a cheap suit over the HD DVD decryption key.

      Going off memory here, but I’m pretty sure someone posted theaster decryption key, without any context. Just, ‘123cf7’…etc.

      Without any context, it’s just a random string of letters and numbers. Absolutely free speech. With context, it’s a violation of the DMCA.

        Yes, and Digg removed it as quickly as they could before realizing you can’t stop the signal.

    Funnier because of all the T-shirts printed with that key on them.
