- Cumella, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0It kinda was never alive. =(
- drmistermaster, on 10/12/2007, -22/+34Maybe because people are just acting like spam-posting asshats. I agree censorship sucks, but spamming the front page and comment sections with the code is just ***** childish.
btw to the poster, you have no ***** idea what freedom of speech is. - Sagags, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19freedom of speach is dead? the web site admins have the right to do what they want ITS THERE WEBSITE!!! Its like thier private property and they can do whatever they want with it, and if they dont want you doing something on it, oh well its there site.

- Disko, on 10/12/2007, -7/+13Quick! Everyone get over to wikipedia and submit new spammy articles! That'll *really* stop em from 'selling out'.

"Today was an insane day. And as the founder of Digg, I just wanted to post my thoughts…
In building and shaping the site I’ve always tried to stay as hands on as possible. We’ve always given site moderation (digging/burying) power to the community. Occasionally we step in to remove stories that violate our terms of use (eg. linking to pornography, illegal downloads, racial hate sites, etc.). So today was a difficult day for us. We had to decide whether to remove stories containing a single code based on a cease and desist declaration. 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.
But now, after seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, 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.
Digg on,
Kevin " - egbert, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17This has nothing to do with "Freedom of Speech". 1st amendment freedom of speech only forbids the government from forbidding speech. Wikipedia is a private organization and can do anything they want to restrict the numbers.

- phidjit, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2What if everyone posted "The Number" to as many Wikipedia articles as they can?
Would Wikipedia have to lock the entire encyclopedia?
What then? What then?! - sandus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"freedom of speech is dead"
'Freedumb of speech', you mean. - TheFallOfDigg, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Help build a new and UNCENSORED Digg: http://UncensoredDigg.blogspot.com
- TheFallOfDigg, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4I just can't let this go. It looks like all the major sites on the internet are caving in to this mysterious number. YOU CANNOT COPYRIGHT MATHEMATICS. Give it up already. Users revolt.
- WileEPeyote, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3What a bunch of whiney little babies. WAAAAH! I can't post this number cause people don't want to get sued...
OMG! This country needs a ***** shot of "grow the ***** up". There are really issues out there in the real world. Stop crying over your entertainment like a bunch of spoiled brats.
You are free to dissent the government, but you sit back in your comfortable chairs living your comfortable lives and whine when some company doesn't want the secret to how it protects it movies getting out. Then it takes steps to rectify that. Who gives a *****. It's COMMERCE, it isn't LIFE. This isn't about death-squads or secret prisons or denying free speech at political rallies.
There are noble people dying in a horribly planned, horribly executed war and you bunch of sissie are whining about DRM? How about putting that considerable energy into writing your congressmen right now and bitch about whatever it is that you think is messed up in the government? - Four20, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1At least Wikipedia tries to. It still gets through, and in the oddest places. Here's one place I found it.
http://digg.com/tech_news/Wikipedia_s_attempt_to_block_the_HD_DVD_code - Tiak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Okay, so, the big question... What aspect of the number itself is even remotely encyclopedia worthy?... I could see maybe three sentences in the REGULAR HD-DVD article... There's nothing about the article or what happened on digg tonight... The only think I could see a wikipedia article about that'd be productive and objective would be the movement this number has caused which generally has people being assholes... And something tells me that isn't what you guys wanted to write...
I mean honestly, what would you put in the wikipedia page, "Thiz numb3r is teh l33tz0rz!!1"?... (The sad part is that isn't even an exaggeration of how annoying diggers have been tonight, there was progressingly more leet speak at the night went on. - BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Viva la revolution in our own community, it's helped Digg to have better community integrity and stuff, but please, DON'T ATTACK WIKIPEDIA.
Wikipedia is writing what's basically a big book - it's **NOT** Wikipedia's fight at all, and it's not fair to attack it.
- soccerboi00, on 10/12/2007, -8/+16Or maybe Wikipedia can't host anything illegal. You can say the number all you want.
- nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1is wikipedia a non-profit?

- Newusrguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Hey, smart guy. Freedom of Speech applies to the government, not the Internet.
- gmprunner, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1iPhone still holds the record for being the most dugg article by far (22k+ diggs), so buried as inaccurate I guess. :p
- JaybeasCorpus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Sweet Jesus, quit saying "freedom of speech is dead." The GOVERNMENT cannot infringe on your freedom of speech! If a website that isn't run by the government decides to remove something that it objects to, it's well within its right to do so.
You can whine all you want about the HD-DVD key being "censored," but quit bringing First Amendment arguments into this. - GNAAloldongs01, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0http://loldongs.on.nimp.org/?u=%6c%6f%6c%64%6f%6e%67%73 - help out the cause

Freedom of speech does not pertain to illegally spreading copyrighted material..

- micahglasser, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Freedom of speech is dead because the law is owned by moneyed interests you ass clown. Go tow the party line somewhere else. This is Sparta!
- harvinator24, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Alright this stuff is funny an im all for standing up for something you believe in but, there are copyright laws. dont hold it against digg
just think how popular digg is to be told to take down the stories. - itstheroc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I feel like I am the only one who has no idea what these number are about. Can someone explain?
- sriggins, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Free speech is not dead, but posting intellectual property is. Children!
- sriggins, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0This has nothing to do with free speech, this is posting IP. Grow up.
- aroot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I've already claimed the phrase "Grow up" as my intellectual property. Please post your address, my lawyers will be contacting you in the morning.
- PAJK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It has nothing to do with Freedom of Speech! Neither Digg, nor Wikipedia decided that the code was illegal! *****, the internet is STUPID today. Just goes to show how cynical people really are, and how they don't give a ***** about the communities that have given them so much for GODDAMN FREE!
Oh no, that might make you feel guilty, so ***** Digg me down. Selfish bastards. - mikejonesee, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Just start posting the number on every Wikipedia page, I'm sure 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 has something to do with elephants...

- alienshards, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0DRM sucks, that's why i care.
i know it's not free speech. but quite frankly- DRM just sucks. this key is part of breaking it. sure i'll never actually use this key. but it's more of a symbol of anti- DRM now. kind of like a modern day jolly roger. - FunkyLlama, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I can understand Wikipedia lockin them out, because they have no encyclopaedic value whatsoever.

- eclectro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Well, wekipedia has always been a tool. I don't know about "freedom of speech" ever counting for anything there though.
- diggsay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Freedom of speech is dead! Long live the new freedom of speech!
- opiophile, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Everyone now focus your attention to wikipedia. Make them apologize and backtrack like Digg has (rightfully) done. Ready, aim, FIRE!!!1

- radiofrequency, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2It's really nice that wired is mentioning wikipedia's censorship, but why are wired themselves so dickless as to refuse to post the number while they're talking about it? Hypocrites!

What the hell is the fear about posting this number? If I were on a jury, nothing could ever compel me to apply the legal protections afforded via copyright laws or the DMCA to benefit corporations at the expense of an individual. -
