According to Digg the Blog Kevin Rose finally realized that Digg was in trouble. Either Digg could run and hide from the lawyers or stand up for their users.

But now, after seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you’ve made it clear. You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be.

It only took hundreds of stories and thousands of Diggs by the user community for Digg to realize that without the users they would not have a site.

Better start looking for that buyer now!
