CNBC's Erin Brunett Covers Digg Revolt on "Street Signs"

I was watching CNBC's Street Signs with Erin Burnett, as I often do afternoons 2:00-3:00 and near the end of her show, she started talking about copy-protection of DVDs and the recent uprising at website Digg.com. For those unfamiliar, Digg is a social news site where news stories are "digged" to the top of the pile and "buried" to the bottom if they aren't good. What shows up on the Digg front page is whatever the Digg faithful votes for. Until earlier this week, when Digg chose to remove posts which contained a crack to the decryption of the new HD-DVD Technology after receiving a "cease and desist" letter from the HD-DVD crowd. Needless to say, the Digg folks revolted, flooded the site with posts and diggs, and eventually Digg changed their ways. Burnett had two guests on this afternoon to talk about the Digg revolt and copy protection in general, and it was a very interesting discussion. The video is below.
