The Great Digg DRM Revolt of '07
The most phenomenal thing happened last night when users, frustrated by Digg.com's decision to remove the 32-digit hex key that allows for the decryption of the DRM (Digital Rights Management) on HD-DVD's, literally overwhelmed the site with their votes of dissension.
If nothing else, this proves two things: 1. The voice of Internet users is a power to be reckoned with and can not be ignored and 2. DRM is doomed to failure.
Here is a mainstream news article on the subject of the revolt, here's the official response from one of the founders of Digg.com and here's a sample of a standard "third party" version of the story.
