Activists in 7 cities will picket Apple Stores tomorrow to protest the dangers of the DRM hidden in Apple's iTunes. From BoingBoing: iTunes DRM may seem pretty innocuous at first, but every time you invest in an iTunes Store song, you make it more expensive to switch to an Apple competitor's product at any time in the future. You didn't have to abandon your CDs to switch to MP3s (in fact, the more CDs you owned, the better your MP3 experience was, since you could rip those CDs to seed your MP3 collection), but if you want to go from Apple's iTunes to a competing device, ever, you have to be prepared to abandon your whole investment.
You know where the new store is: 767 Fifth Avenue, the cube. More info at Defective by Design.
