If/when Digg gets the barratry smackdown, they can expect community support in return due to the choice they made to support the user.
It's fine that you don't understand the issue. Try not to belittle the protesters while asserting your ignorance.

Correlation does not equal causation
Furthermore, even if that were the case it doesn't change the fact that posting the hex string is illegal and that it's not the protesters whose asses are on the line by copying, pasting, and clicking. Like I said, if the protesters had any balls, they would have all posted their full name and home address when they repeatedly posted the code, this way the MPAA could easily find them and they could personally "fight the power" all they want.
