Fark Founder: "We just can't take point" on HD DVD

Fark founder Drew Curtis, whose humor site seems the natural place to look for Photoshopped images of the cracked HD DVD processing key, has posted an explanation of why, unlike Digg, Fark has complied with takedown notices from (we presume) the AACS LA and removed posts that contained the key:

We're not a silicon valley venture-capital funded behemoth startup.
Fark is self-funded and run out of my living room. They have parties with limos and live bands out there, while here in Kentucky I get pretty excited when I find a new bourbon at the store around the corner.

Fark isn't in a financial position to stand up and take on the DMCA/MPAA/WTFOMG in a head to head legal battle, they'll crush us into fine paste. I can however say with confidence that the DMCA is a load of crap, the MPAA and their attorneys are douchebags, and someone needs to take them down. More power to Digg, if we can help we will. We just can't take point on this one. Digg has millions of VC dollars in their bank account, they're in a much better position than us to take this one on. Go gettum guys.
