Digg is caught between a rock and a hard place with the HD-DVD scandal to the point that the founder-CEO thinks it could mean the end of this otherwise nifty site.
As most users of this service know, the issue played out in an classic Internet vs Corp war of words (Duggs in this case) over a published HD-DVD DRM process key which might potentially result in a law suit. So much for uncensored social-networking, it’s one of those gray areas where sites like MySpace end up fighting legal battles for shit it’s 14 year-old-dimwit users post.
So indeed “the users” won the duel, but in the process, the very site that facilitated the battle ground faces the axe, now Digg that!
