HD-DVD encryption key leaked.. MAD rush at digg!
The HD-DVD encryption key was leaked over the internet yesterday. The source got dugg pretty hard! It was being dugg so hard that digg was seeing 40 digs per second on this story! Ultimately digg went down and was showing 404 errors on every story! It was really great to see how strongly people feel about DRM. This key actually enables people to decode legally bought HD-DVD movies on linux, though they are only supposed to be played on windows. Source
Digg Link

Re: HD-DVD encryption key leaked.. MAD rush at digg!
I was wondering why digg was so slow yesterday. Wasn't looking at the front page, I guess.

Whoa there! The fastest dugg story was the announcement of the iPhone. Jobs had not even completed his keynote when the story had crossed 10,000 diggs. The digg swarm was going crazy. Even the site's layout had screwed up because they hadn't anticipated that a story would ever get that many diggs.

Re: HD-DVD encryption key leaked.. MAD rush at digg!
^^ That's not the issue behind this thread.. No one cares if it got more diggs than the iPhone thread or not.. The issue is that digg is doing censorship..

Re: HD-DVD encryption key leaked.. MAD rush at digg!
But, how many threads will they delete? How many members will they ban? digg is the one loosing out here. One incident can change the face of whole site.

Re: HD-DVD encryption key leaked.. MAD rush at digg!
They had to give in under the pressure. So, will those idiots at RIAA and MPAA and Hollywood, Bollywood. DRM has to be eliminated if we want our computers to be ours. No wonder the anti-DRM movement is catching on.

Re: HD-DVD encryption key leaked.. MAD rush at digg!
Great time to spread the anti-DRM movement this. Specially for us indians, with stupid yashraj films coming out with DRM, it's not too far from Indian shores now, too.

Re: HD-DVD encryption key leaked.. MAD rush at digg!
Yo bhai, that yashraj films thing sux even with DRM. I downloaded the dhoom 2 song with DRM & it told me to register to get the license. Well, I don't want to...so? I can't use it.
Down with DRM. We have already paid for our music in either CD or digital purshace, so we should have the right to delete it, play in a loud speaker, play in car, play in phone, play in XBOX or whatever. We already paid for it

Re: HD-DVD encryption key leaked.. MAD rush at digg!
Man, this is serious stuff! More than thousand diggs in the matter of a few minutes!!! Whoa!
I just clicked on the link and then read a few comments. When I refreshed the page fifteen minutes later, the diggs had jumped from 25,000 to 26,000. This is crazy!!
The iPhone was nothing.
