If the two companies had anything in common (Apple Itunes Music Store and Apple Recording) I could see the dispute in a different light, but a social giant like Digg and a Lucasfilm game from the mid-90's are polar opposites.

It appears Lucasfilm filed a trademark for a game in 1995 called “The Dig” and they believe the “Digg” trademark would infringe on that trademark. Digg has built a lot of popularity around their name as a trademark (even so much as becoming a verb “to digg something”) and if forced to rename could lose a lot of that brand popularity.

Back in around 1997, I registered a domain called "diginc.com" (DIG, Inc.). I was going to call it diggit (after the Skinny Puppy song "dig it"), but decided against it. I never had any trouble about the name, and even had a request to sell the domain. (I gave it up quite some time ago). While my site may have had more in common with Digg (being about digital media), there's just no commonality between Digg and The Dig. More corporate bullshit by big bullies. That’s so absurd.
