But yesterday, Rose learned just how terrifying it can really be. Thousands of users rose up in protest over the site's decision
to ban articles and comments that contained a 32-digit code that can be used to crack anti-copying technology on HD-DVDs.

After users bombarded the site with more articles containing the offending code, Digg decided to yield to the power of the crowd.

People are "the power", they can make or break a government, leave alone other things.

People are "the power", they can make or break a government, leave alone other things.Too bad they don't rise up most of the time.. it's about time politicians get afraid of us again, instead of the other way round (clueless politicians signing off laws to screw us over without ever understanding what they are signing.. no sane person would sign a contract that unanimously benefits the other party - yet politicians do that on a daily basis)

Did we suspend rule 15? :)

Did we suspend rule 15?

There are no real rules here anymore since HD-DVD decryption keylogging hit the forums and I believe the phrase "2 legs good - 4 legs bad" would not be inappropriate :)
