Are we saying that it’s ok to post information that helps people steal copyrighted material? Copying HD DVDs clearly violates that area and breaks the law. How is that different than posting links to hate sites and pornography? Those are also illegal…more morally offensive for sure…but legally in the same boat…maybe even less illegal.

So Digg feels compelled to pull morally offensive content but not content that directly aids the illegal activity of copyright infringment? I don’t get it.

How would all those people out there who want free DVD content feel if Digg said it was ok to post information on how to break into your house? What would happen if people posted the code to your alarm system so anyone could enter your home at night to steal…and worse. What would Digg’s responsbility be?

I say Digg was right in the first place to comply with the lay and the reasonable request from the MPAA. The fact that people whine about not being able to hack and steal reflects on their own character. Not on Digg’s.
