Digg losing control

One of my favorite sites that I visit on a regular basis is Digg as it allows me to quickly get up to speed on the top news and other events around the world based on the number of times an article or web page has been "Dugg." Unfortunately, earlier this week after removing articles relating to the crack of an HD DVD encryption key, the site was bombarded with angry users who posted numerous articles with clever ways of including the cracked key since articles were being removed. Instead of being able to actually use the site as I normally do, I had to sift through all of the HD DVD crap that people for some reason thought was a good idea. Why would you get upset when the site has a Terms of Use that requires users to avoid infringement of intellectual property (which is clearly the case with the HD DVD key hack). I guess some these people would rather put a great site at risk of being shut down than being responsible. Good job...
