FSF - Protesters provide a nasty "vista" for Gates

FSF - Protesters provide a nasty "vista" for Gates:

"Seattle, May 23 2006

As Microsoft developers gathered in Seattle to hear Bill Gates's keynote speech on the future of Microsoft and the coming release of its updated operating system Vista, protesters wearing bright yellow Hazmat suits swarmed the entrance of the city's convention center, delivering an unsettling message to the corporation: your product is defective and hazardous to users.

The surprise protest marked the launch of DefectiveByDesign.org, a direct-action campaign that will target Big Media and corporations peddling Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). 'Flash protests, direct actions, and practical ways that people can get involved and help stop the stupidity of DRM,' is how campaign manager Gregory Heller described the grassroots effort."
