"
The Free Software Foundation's (FSF) Defective By Design campaign
against Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies ran into difficulties
when it targeted Apple Stores across the United States on Saturday, June
10. As many as half the events were disrupted by security guards or police,
while the campaign as a whole had little success in attracting mainstream
media coverage. Despite the difficulties, organizers judged the event a
success, both in mobilizing members of the two-week-old campaign and in
educating the general public about the implications of DRM."
