Now that Digg has stopped deleting posts and comments about the HD-DVD key fiasco, maybe we can get back to some real tech news. Proactively deleting content means Digg gives up their Safe Harbor status, and they would be required to censor all posts and comments.
If instead they stick to Safe Harbor, the MPAA will need to submit a Cease and Desist for each infringing page. And then Digg can take the same classy approach the Slashdot did when the Scientology nuts came after them about a comment. Remove the comment, and explain exactly what is going on, who is censoring things, and where the content can be found elsewhere on the 'net:

As they say...
