What I'm not sure about is their users. A more general question derive from that: Is violating a site's TOS considered breaking the law? What law does it break?

They still haven't turned a profit and the numbers are working against them. Spending money on a lawsuit just increases their burn rate. Being embroiled in a lawsuit does not make them attractive to further rounds of venture capital -- VCs hate funding lawsuits. I doubt Usocial affects Digg's bottom line enough for them to justify spending a lot of money on it. Digg's best course would be to just ignore them and let the market figure it out.

It was a nice and intelligent response. (Probably in hopes of enticing your assistance; if and when necessary.) I'm surprised at the thought put into their letter.
