Man. I liked Digg. Not as much as Lemmy, but I liked it.

    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 the master 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.
