Digg HDDVD Video

Can you explain the "digg" moment?

I understand the premise of the HDDVD code and what not, but what is this digg moment thing?
 
After releasing a cease and desist for the hacked HD DVD code, Digg started axing stories about it. But so many were being presented and with the Digg community up in arms about the whole deal, Kevin Rose posted this:

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.

If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying.
