A cease-and-desist letter from the Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator (AACS) asking websites and blogs to remove information about a software key that strips next-generation DVD's of their copy protection has resulted in a mass revolt on the popular interactive web site, Digg. The community news website initially complied with the letter, but users kept reposting the stories after they were removed. Digg says it will no longer try to censor the users' stories. The letter indicated that allowing the information to appear against websites and in blogs violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6615047.stm
