Some (very expensive, I’d wager) lawyers don’t want you to see the above number.

After receiving a “Cease and Desist” from the MPAA, Digg removed some posts containing this number. Some peeved Diggers reposted and dugg the number repeatedly until Digg founder Kevin Rose declared:

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.

I can digg it
