Geeks En Masse
Tech Buzz Digg deletes a post on the HD DVD decryption code, and the Digg geeks go wild. After receiving a take down demand, Digg pulls posts and comments that displayed the copyrighted code. Users run riot, re-posting the code hundreds of thousands times. Eight hours later, Digg gives in.
