User posts HD-DVD key, Digg in chaos

by DJ Neawedde | 2nd May 2007

Someone posted the HD-DVD AACS Processing Key number on Digg, which would give you the power to crack copy protection on an HD-DVD. The post got over 15,000 Diggs, after which the post was deleted by Digg and the user who posted it was banned. Now, Digg.com is in complete chaos with many of it’s users revolting and reposting the HD-DVD key.

      Digg’s actually auto-deleting a lot of the stories that have that stupid number or HD-DVD in the title. I was messing around with submitting stories about the fiasco linking to my blog (yes, I’m guilty of trying to take advantage of the mob rule ;) and noticed that several of my stories completely disappeared. While I think that it sucks that the digg homepage is being flooded with shit stories, I think trying to censor further is just going to keep adding fuel to the fire.
