DVD encryption hackers, (those that enable you to use technology to LEGALLY copy dvds) and social news sites are being threatened by the RIAA (another name for corporate sponsored terrorists) for spreading knowledge of how their digital chains (DRM) works.
The important thing here is after complying with cease and desist letters, social news site digg.com removed a popular entry from their listings, that one act of censorship cause a wave of stories to be resubmitted into digg, numbering 'in the thousands'. nearly crashing the website.
here is a prime example of our power people!!!
SPEAK OUT! CREATE THE UNIQUE VOICE THAT THEY TRY TO SILENCE

DVD DRM row sparks user rebellion
Attempts to gag the blogosphere from publishing details of a DVD crack have led to a user revolt.
The row centred on a 'cease and desist' letter sent by the body that oversees the digital rights management technology on high-definition DVDs.
It requested that blogs and websites removed details of a software key that breaks the encryption on HD-DVDs.
The removal of the information from community news website Digg was a step too far for its fans.
As quickly as stories relating to the issue were removed, they were re-submitted in their thousands, in an act described by one user as a "21st century revolt".
The site collapsed under the weight of the attack at one point.
