EDIT: Summary post/article here on all this.
Digg.com has now apparently backed down on the release and Digging of HD DVD hex code information via the Doom9 forum (the Digg suppression story even got picked up by Slashdot yesterday). One of the Digg founders wrote in their blog:
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.
Awesome… morals on that level of the corporate media stage? Impressive! Even more so since HD DVD is actually a sponsor of Digg.
