If so - you owe it to yourself to listen to what Lawrence Lessig, Professor of Law at Stanford Law School, has to say about that: http://www.lessig.org/freeculture/ "There is no doubt that piracy is an important problem–it’s just not the only problem. Our leaders have lost this sense of balance. They have been seduced by a vision of culture that measures beauty in ticket sales. They are apparently untroubled by a world where cultivating the past requires the permission of the past. They can’t imagine that freedom could produce anything worthwhile at all."

With regards to the actual post itself: I don't hold strongs views either way about Digg, since I don't believe that the system works that well imho.
