DRM Protest in Hazmat Suits

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday May 23, 2006 @10:17AM from the containing-the-drm-outbreak dept.

johnsu01 writes "The Free Software Foundation launched a new anti-DRM initiative today with a flash protest at Bill Gates's keynote speech to Microsoft developers in Seattle. They're calling the new campaign 'Defective by Design' and have named Big Media, device manufacturers and proprietary software companies as targets. CivicActions is participating as a coalition partner in the campaign. Protesters donned HazMat suits, apparently to emphasize the hazard Digital Restrictions Management poses to their rights." There are also a few pictures available over at Defectivebydesign.org.

I think whoever mentioned that "politics is theatre" has it spot on.
