Readers of a certain age will recall the pure joy of cracking open a ten-pack of cassettes. With their miniaturized spools and narrow ribbons of tape, they were relatively flimsy objects. The plastic shells cracked, the screws came loose, the metallic oxides flaked off the tape itself. But for males (and females) of a certain nerdish propensity, they had a futuristic allure.

Watching the whole "Digg revolt" tonight has been amusing. Mad props to Kevin and his team for making the right decision in the long run. It took them a while to get there, but I can certainly understand why it did. Must've been a really rough day. By the way, did the MPAA really think cease and desist letters would make this "code" go away? Is that *really* how completely and utterly inept they are at understanding today's world? Because holy shit, that's fucking ridiculous! I can't even fathom a scenario where people are still that stupid. But apparently, they are. We're behind you, Kevin. Fight the good fight.

The two main factors that contributed to the strength of said storm are the Digg community's disdain for DRM and the general unawareness of the fact that Digg has moderators.
