Library of Congress Blog Doesn't Dig AACS

The Library of Congress has a new blog, and not yet two weeks old it already found its first controversy getting caught up in the Digg.com copyright fight. Like Digg, the LOC had to remove several comments from users posting the AACS LA key, but unlike the former, the LOC didn't generate a user revolt. Er. Maybe because it doesn't really have many yet. Or ever. Nonetheless, the blog did have to issue a firm 'cut it out or I'll turn the car around' to some of its readers, however:

Not only is it absurd and inappropriate that readers would attempt to use a government blog to break a federal law, but it is doubly so, in that the Librarian of Congress is the ultimate arbiter of so-called “exemptions” to the section of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that concerns technological measures that control access to copyrighted works.
