I just saw that too. I don't know if I would have made that call. On the one hand free speech should be respected and they should have the right to post the content they want, but on the other hand the users need to learn how to play by the rules. Would Digg allow someone to post the direction on how to break in and steal a newer car with theft protection? On 5/2/07, Jose P. Zagal <jp@cc.gatech.edu> wrote:

I found this story on gizmodo.com this morning and thought I might share for anyone who might be interested.
Apparently someone found an HD-DVD key code that would allow users to bypass copy protection. This was posted onto Digg but was then removed for obvious reasons. Out of anger the users are now (is diggbombing a word?) flooding the site with the code in retaliation to it being removed. Even now I'm looking at a few of my friends who have the code as their away messages.
