Support Digg during the Revolution.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s an excerpt from TechCrunch:

To say what happened today on Digg was a “user revolt” is an understatement. The Digg team deleted a story that linked to the decryption key for HD DVDs after receiving a take down demand and all hell broke loose. More stories appeared and were deleted, and users posting the stories were suspended.

That just got the Digg community fired up, and soon the entire Digg home page was filled with stories containing the decryption key. The users had taken control of the site, and unless Digg went into wholesale deletion mode and suspended a large portion of their users, there was absolutely nothing they could do to stop it…

…Until today, it seems, even Digg didn’t fully understand the power of its community to determine what is “news.” I think the community made their point crystal clear.

Vive La Revolution.

I think it’s safe to say every opponent to DRM out there will be watching this closely. It sets up an open challenge: the tech-savvy community vs. the entertainment megacorps. Even though DRM is a failure as a technology, the megacorps cling to it. It’s just a matter of time until it dies. This might be another step along that road.

Good luck, guys.
