The Free Software Foundation (FSF) launched its anti-Digital Rights Management
(DRM) campaign in Seattle this morning. When attendees of the Windows Hardware
Engineering Conference (WinHEC) 2006 arrived at the Washington State Convention
and Trade Center to hear a keynote address by Bill Gates, a small group of FSF
members and their local allies were waiting to greet them, dressed in yellow
hazmat suits and handing out pamphlets explaining that Microsoft products are --
in the words of the key slogan for the campaign -- "defective by design" because
of the DRM technologies included in them.
