Update: Report From the Protest Against Sony BMG At Popkomm

(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)
