The louder you scream...

http://www.defectivebydesign.org

An existing digital restriction comes back for a second attack. We have three ideas for action to take against the streaming media giants. The idea of streaming media is not a new one.

http://www.defectivebydesign.org

We now have an official winner of our sticker design contest announced in April. Our old stickers depicting the shackles of DRM went well with Apple's iPod advertising at the time, but now, with Apple's new developer licensing agreement and the release of the iBad, their latest restriction, our anti-DRM sticker is in need of an update.
