Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



 

 

 

Update!  Today the people of the internet spoke loudly with our mute and persistant clicking of... button things ... meh. Ok, so our founding fathers would call us a bunch of pansies for not storming out of our flats to burn down their Starbucks. Nevertheless, it was effective and we got business done in our boxers while watching Lost reruns in the periphery. Take that, canned oatmeal face!

In this late night blog update, an admirable set of testicles emerged in the end:

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

Commendable. Will it appease the digital rioters? It should be enough. The suits?  I'd like to see them make an example of Digg so we can finally put that angry mob to good use. You've seen the numbers. We want blood!

Original story follows...

 

So what the hell does this have to do with gaming? The logo of the party Loweinstein crashed last year was cleverly positioned right smack in one of the solutions. The collage features other public signs that spell out the primary key Digg is fighting to censor. Good to know that a crafty gamer out there is fighting the good fight! Some other funny gaming-related ones keep popping, including one that quotes the key as the "ultimate cheat code". HA! Meanwhile, somebody is debugging a nasty little VBscript elsewhere...

Note to the HD-DVD legal council: don't waste your time, stupid. The code is Chinese to 99% of the people involved in this Digg party. It's the guy that chatted about it on mIRC four weeks ago with his legion of 7R0Z3NCR3W M3MB34Z that they have to worry about. Book a flight to Europe and get off Kevin's back.

[Thanks to everyone that sent this in. Long live the first Digg-ital riot!!!]

I think Kevin Rose has turned face now, and said something like "Digg will go down fighting", so the articles aren't getting deleted.

This is so awesome though haha.

Nice resolution of the whole thing, IMO. From the look of things, Kevin Rose may be the next proud recipient of a pair of brass balls.

respect for kevin, digg users put him in a shitty position and even though they did stupid shit at first, he's doing the right thing now.

hopefully if digg really does get flakk the giant digg userbase will help them out

From the Doom9 Forums, it looks like this code also helps decode AACS encoded Blu-ray discs. 09:F9:11:02:9D:74:E3:5B:D8:41:56:C5:63:56:88:C0 Interesting how a single hex number has so much power...

Thank you for the FSM photograph. I'm FSM agnostic (I believe in Ninjas, not pirates) but your gesture of his Noodliness is appreciated.

Easy song parody for 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0

Start singing "O, Christmas Tree" with "0, 9 F9..."

As someone with an eXtreem love of all things that can and shall be hacked, I think this is good news today, I just hope that this is another brick in the wall of deciding which format gets to stay and which goes home.

i have no idea what the company was thinking other than litigation, but the fact that the company's main object of survival is determined entirely upon its users' active participation should have been a warning bell that it shouldn't in any way mess with its user base even if it does mean that litigation is a future result. the owner at the very least could have let its stance be known right off the bat. buuuuut that part i really don't care about.

it's all about HD-DVD and its strong armed thuggery and how it absolutely made a pretty much benign story and made it blow up. very few people know how to use the cracked hexadecimal code to hack a HD-DVD and play it on any machine and nor do they ever want to know. buuuut now that the code is known pretty much around the world and why, those people who would otherwise have ignored this story have taken hold of the story and the code and spread it everywhere. the code of course will be useless in the very near future but all future codes have been compromised because those who enjoy that type of activity will post the next set of codes and those codes in turn will be spread across the world. i'm all for copyrights and protections but these companies need to be a bit more pragmatic about the affair. let it go. stop going after the people who form your base. once you bite them, their sympathizers will in turn turn their guns to you.

Bah. At this point, it's no longer about HD-DVD. I don't have a player, and I couldn't care less. As far as I'm concerned, this has simply become a challenge to rile up irritable people.

Now this is a story,
All about how,
My life got flip-turned upside-down.
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there,
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0.

In West Philadelphia, ballin' and playin',
In the playground is where I spent mosta my days,
Chillin' out haxin all cool, just coding some binary outside o' the school,
When a couple of diggers, were up to no good,
Started making trouble on the internets,
Got in one little fight and my ma' got scared, said
"You're moving to your auntie and uncle in 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0"

So I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0 and had dice in the mirror.
If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but forget it, yo homes, to 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0!

I pulled up to the house around 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0 or 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0 and I yelled to the cabbie, yo homes, smell ya later!
Looked at my kingdom, was finally there, prince on my throne, in the town of 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0

I just realized this is ironic because digg got totally destroyed by the Digg effect, now tis back to its old and stupid stories though, "The Romeo and Juliet Effect" and "33 ways to increase productivity" But the first story to break the barrier is "Have we been burying live people?"

Come and listen to a story about a man named Kev
A poor internet prince who barely kept his Diggers fed,
Then one day he was deleting some nasty news
And up through the tubes came a bubbling crew

throwing code at him, binary, for the ole’ HD-DVD

Well the first thing you know old Kev is a silent man,
and folks from the forum said you need to fix this here
they said, “democratic is the way you ought a be…”
So Kev reloaded the page and left the Binary…

The code that is… 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0

The Binary Haxbillies! Y’all code back now y’hear!

i'm starting to think that the outcry created by the mpaa making digg take down the original story is going to ultimately hurt them more than if they had just left the sleeping bear lay.

now anyone who didn't know or care about it will have it beaten into their heads over the next few days and eventually they will wonder what it is really all about.
