anaesthetica's Journal: Digg Users Revolt Over HD-DVD Key

Social news site Digg has been flooded with stories reprinting the HD DVD processing key covered earlier here. At one point, the entire front page was comprised of stories which in one way or another were related to the hex numbers that were removed by Digg administrators. Digg users quickly pointed to the HD DVD sponsorship of Diggnation, the Digg podcast show. Is this outburst a hissy fit thrown by immature users acting without regard to Digg's legal liability, or is it a legitimate act of civil disobedience?
