Any Point

Will someone please let me know sooner whenever there is a riot?! I bloody love a good riot. Hang on, I am not so sure this one would have given me too much satisfaction, it was the first ever ‘internet riot’, it was at digg.com. Sounds a bit lame really, it managed to ‘crash the site’ under the weight of the ‘attack’. So no flaming missiles, Ultras or riot police then?

The ‘riot’ was caused as digg.com pussied out twice, first to a cease and desist letter from the digital rights management body, where they were told to remove a post that revealed a secret code that would have stopped piracy of HD DVD’s. The ‘riot’ then came as users rebelled, telling digg.com to reinstate the post and not buckle to authority, which they did.

Actually, if this sort of ‘riot’ does rear it’s head again, maybe best if you didn’t bother me, I think I would rather be watching Thomas the Tank Engine at home with my 2yr old, it’s more exciting.
