you missed the point entirely. the issues is that posting that number breaks the law, it's not opinion, and not protected. the stupid DMCA (loosely) says that anything that can be used to circumvent DRM is illegal. hence posting that on the site is breaking the law and thus DIGG is liable. this is the same as when people post child porn on DIGG, (I've seen it before) if DIGG lets it stay, they are breaking the law and will get in trouble. if you dont agree with the law, protest the law, don't defy it.
