Social Distortion

Digg

Digg is a Social Bookmarking site whereby readers bookmark stories that rises and falls based on reader votes.

Well some smarty pants decided to post the password to be able to crack HD DVD's.

The move comes four months after hackers first poked a hole in AACS (Advanced Access Content System), the complex encryption scheme used to protect HD DVD and Blu-ray Discs. In the interim, they've been able to decrypt HD DVD movies and, theoretically, upload them to file-sharing networks.

The "Internet" freaked out at Digg for allowing a post of such illegal proportions to get thru. Meanwhile, "Do no Evil Google" is supposedly looking into killing thousands of pages that reference this crack.

So, let me see. Tell people to chose what they think is important, and then tell them they can't.
