Screwed if they ban (community leaves, crisis, etc). Screwed if they don't (DMCA). They made the right choice: It's better to be taken down by the MPAA than to take yourself down by antagonizing your users.

Totally agreed, I think Kevin Rose made the right choice. Banning the stories at this juncture would have been a suicide.

The users threatened to move on to Reddit, but this does not mean Reddit would have been a beneficiary, it would have to either allow this or show the users door once again.
