The what? I'm ignorant here.
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.
Yes, and Digg removed it as quickly as they could before realizing you can’t stop the signal.
