Normal people have been too busy working and playing to closely follow the past day's online revolt. For the non-obsessive, Valleywag pundit Nick Douglas offers a step-by-step recount of the whole thing. More important, as a personal friend of Digg founder Kevin Rose, he offers his take on why Digg thinks they can win:
I'm willing to bet Rose and Adelson have a plan. Many groups have opposed the DMCA ever since it was proposed. It's arguably an unconstitutional law, as it restricts the right to free speech and the right to property by making it illegal not only to circumvent a technical restriction on a piece of media for otherwise legal purposes, but also to instruct someone how to do so. When it becomes illegal to merely post a number on a web site, something's gone terribly wrong with the law.
Valleywag also makes fun of Wired editor Dylan Tweney, but rest assured it's backhanded flattery.
