HD-DVD encryption key leaked.. MAD rush at digg!

[kalpik]

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

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.

^^ That was the highest dugg story.. This one was getting 50-60 diggs a second!!

Well this story is about to beat iphone one and that too after the original story was deleted.

 

[kalpik]

Update: Digg removed the story once again when it was close to 16,000 diggs..

 

[aryayush]

Yay! iPhone FTW.

 

[kalpik]

^^ 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..

 

[mehulved]

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.

lol,its so funny now,Complete chaos!
They delete 1 story,100 of them pop up.Now digg is full of HDDVD cracked stories.
Firefox lags coz of too much comments in those stories.

@aryayush: Just goto the digg home page and see for yourself how BIG the issue is! MUCH MUCH bigger than the iPhone story!

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.

This aint dying down so easily! Just wait and watch!
