This was my biggest issue. I'll admit that the Digg users (myself included, and gosh darn it, it was fun!:-) )overreacted. I don't care about the key... I understand that it's ultimately worthless to spread it, except only to show that DRM doesn't work. My issue is how Digg reacted to the key being posted. This could have been a quiet matter that wouldn't have caused many ill feelings amongst the Diggers.
To be honest, I'd love to see some of this passion directed at something of slightly higher importance, but anytime people stand up together to disobey, I'm proud of them.
I think I'll be back to Slashdot for now, though... the commentary here was always so much more interesting, even if I don't get my daily "ZOMFGbuntu" posts.:-)
