Kevin's response to the C&D letters

"A while ago our trademark attorney approached us and was concerned we could loose the name 'digg'. I had no idea this was possible as we had already filed for the trademark. Apparently if you don't enforce the TM (meaning not let other sites use it), we run the chance of loosing it... which would suck. The last thing we want is to loose our name.

So what to do...

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."
