Whose game did Digg win?

Through reading on SNSs, Web 2.0 or 3.0, and privacy issues, I wondered where is the online society really going. It seems like online society's issue is no different than our off-line society: the balance between innovation and control or regulation and freedom. We would want our vioce to be heard but our privacy to be kept. Where should the line kept in between?

Last week's Digg HD DVD controversy is one falls into the grey area of protection and freedom. It was really interesting how digg's creater posted "Digg This: 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0" which states the protection key for HD DVD. Digg decided to go down fighting against large DVD organization. Did Digg lost or win the game? If digg is going down then with who really? It seems like because online community does not have physical presence, even though the site loses, users would go down with digg. It was such a big event for digg users, stated everything they wanted without taking any responsibility and left digg with potential liability. I mean, really how many people who are against the DVD protection actually will use the key to unprotect the DVD?

There is no correct answer for the action that has been taken by any parties, over protective DVD organization, over reacted digg users, overly user driven digg. I am not sure, but one thing is that because of over-reacted digg users, people who really knew the key and really were using the key would not be able to use it, since probably key would not be valid for long. Digg just made illegality explicit and user's freedom for small number of people who really were using the key would be lost. Whose game did digg win?
