The Day Digg Users Revolted
Interesting blog on Digg’s retraction of its taking down a post on how to unlock copy-protected DVDs. Perfect example of how digg needs to listen to its core audience: the techophiles that made the site what it is today. Also shows you why youtube did so well in the first place– by not pandering to copyright protection.

Wait, YouTube does the same thing, which is to abide by DMCA take-down notices, no?
Yes, but what made youtube big was not abiding by copyright regulations… then when google acquired them, the policing really began.
