Analysis: The Digg incident highlights the potential risks of Web 2.0

Earlier this week, Digg administrators deleted several posts about the HD DVD key crack after receiving a legal letter from AACS, the key owner. AACS cited Article 1201 of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, claiming that Digg's publication of articles cracking the HD DVD key violated the law. Unexpectedly, Digg's move triggered intense reactions among users, who began to submit related content to Digg in various forms, one after another, and were completely unafraid of Digg's "crackdown."
