ok as I understand it someone posted a code that gets around the digital rights management of the hd-dvd format on digg. kevin rose(the owner) then deletes it, then all hell breaks loose and the entire website is spammed endlessly with this number. the code has been out I guess since february.

but the interesting part about digg and the number is that digg actually ENDORSED the spreading of the number. seemingly opening itself up for massive litigation.

and then of course all the anarchists come in and scream at the "greedy" corporations. quite entertaining all around.

yah. and I didnt notice it before. but digg is getting huge attention, its on newspapers in germany and london, its on abc its on googlenews.

digg is also the first time an owner of a large company has endorsed the breaking of the copyright law. which I think makes it massively more interesting. a bunch of wannabe screw the man ppl doing it is cute. a large corporation doing it is entirely new waters.
