Is Big Brother on Your iPod?
View at Apple Matters
There is no more important cause for electronic freedoms and privacy than the call for action to stop digital rights management (DRM) from crippling our digital future. This is what I read on the Defective By Design website this weekend. I was browsing the site to learn more about the flashmob campaign against iPods.
The stated goal of this particular protest is to warn customers of the dangers of DRM within the iPod and iTunes, and to eliminate DRM in general. They have a problem with DRM because they feel that inclusion of DRM in products sold by Apple and other companies is inspired by greed and the desire to control us. To accomplish their goals, companies want to monitor, report, and regulate your every interaction with your computer and electronics.
