Nice find
I guess all it comes down to in the end is that the guys that set up or run Digg need it to be a nice saleable commodity without lawsuits hanging round its neck. Just like all sites that start out with a little bit of anarchy and freedom, they soon get their necks wound in when they get a smell of lawyer.
I can remember not so long back when pictures of Prince were removed from b3ta after a letter from his lawyers arrived at b3ta towers.

Uh...
Actually it wasn't just this guy, after he posted it (assuming he was the first) THOUSANDS of other people posted it too. Digg removed them to begin with but then after a while decided to release a statement about how as it was a community driven site, they should listen to what the community said, and therefore they would be allowing the key to be posted on the site, regardless of the consequences.
/doesn't know why he started typing
