Digg

I thought the discussion about Digg.com today in class was very interesting. Their website is really quite revolutionary and will hopefully continue to develop as they hope it will. However, the part I found the most interesting was about the possible copyright infringement issue that they are involved in. I thought that this was very similiar to the Viacom vs. Google lawsuit. With both these large sites running into potential legal problems, it is obvious that new laws must be written or old laws clarified to establish what these sites can and cannot do. Right now the governing bodies are lagging in solving these issues and I think they should start to take an active stance in doing so.
