This isn't true. Filters do their job just as well with a digital as film. A circular polarizer can be fun to play with.
The UV filter doesn't do much though other than act to "protect" your lens. Personally, I've never needed a UV filter as I'm generally careful with my camera and I would assume any hard bump or hit on the lens that can actually damage the glass, an extra piece of glass infront of the lens itself would be useless, not to mention any damage inside the lens itself.
