Cada vez más veremos casos como este, donde los usuarios pueden hacer cambiar las cosas.

En este caso ha sido el portal de noticias Digg, las cuales son votadas por la comunidad, este portal de noticias, podcast y videos, ya tiene a más de 1.000.000 de usuarios registrados. Alguno de ellos habia posteado una noticia que hacía referencia a una "Key" para crackear el sistema de protección de DRM para HD (High Definition) DVD's. El portal eliminó la noticia e inmediatamente los usuarios empezarón a boicotear la web hasta que consiguieron que la noticia fuese puesta otra vez como el tema no tiene desperdicio la he puesto integramente en inglés para no perder ni un ápice de su importancia.

Unhappy Digg users bury site in protest

Digg.com users, very upset at the news aggregate site for deleting articles containing an encryption key that could be used to crack the digital rights management on HD DVDs, have inundated the site with thousands of recommendations to pages that contain the code. The protest was apparently heard by Digg administrators, who later reversed the ban.

On Tuesday night, the "All topics" category contained several pages of the most popular articles recommended by Digg readers populated only by links to sites that contained the code, as well as messages deriding the Motion Picture Association of America, a proponent of digital rights management and antipiracy measures. Many of the articles had upward of 4,000 recommendations from users.

A message purporting to be from Digg co-founder and CEO Jay Adelson posted to the site early Tuesday explained the rationale behind the site's former stance.

"We've been notified by the owners of this intellectual property that they believe the posting of the encryption key infringes their intellectual property rights," the posting reads. "In order to respect these rights and to comply with the law, we have removed postings of the key that have been brought to our attention."

Later, a message headlined with the code and credited to Digg co-founder Kevin Rose called Tuesday "a difficult day for us" and explained that site had reversed its earlier stance and would reluctantly allow articles containing the code to be referenced from the site.

"We had to make a call, and in our desire to avoid a scenario where Digg would be interrupted or shut down, we decided to comply and remove the stories with the code," according to the posting. "...You've made it clear. You'd rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won't delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be. If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying."
