Kevin Rose on Digg Trademark Controversy

Digg’s Kevin Rose responds to the recent controversy of Digg’s trademark enforcement:

We don’t want to shut anyone down (not even the clone sites), all we ask is that you avoid using the name ‘digg’ in your website names/domains. We’re looking to see if we have any other options.

I’m sure that I’ll be in the minority when I say this, but they ahve to defend their intellectual property rights.. they’re doing the right thing – as much as it is likely going to suck for those of you that have setup sites that include ‘digg’ in the domain name…
