(Hypebot) GERMANY –
EXCLUSIVE:EXCLUSIVE: This report came in this
morning from the organizers of the protest against Sony BMG
at Popkomm in Berlin:
"(At) Popkomm, we staged a small action at the SonyBMG
stand with our large "Copy protection Disempowers" banner.
SonyBMG are to date not cooperating with providers who
would like to deliver music downloads without restrictions
and protection schemes. For this the MP3-format would be
well suited. We therefore suggest a Boycott of
SonyBMG-music which is delivered with copy protection. Sony
was responsible for the Rootkit-disaster, spreading
millions of cds containing malignant software. Sony is also
one of the largest manufacturers of hardware with built-in
copy protection systems." – Marcus @ (Netzpolitik.org)
