The Number That’s Causing a Revolt on Digg

Digg.com is currently facing a user revolt of sorts after the popular web 2.0 site deleted a story containing number that could allow someone to crack the copy protection on an HD-DVD., they also banned the user that submitted that story.

Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg responded on the DiggBlog that they would now stand for the community:

But now, after seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you’ve made it clear. You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be.

If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying.

Digg on,

Kevin

But that hasn’t been the case at all..
