Liberating iPods in Cambridge (NewsForge)
Benjamin Mako Hill covers
an iPod Liberation event in Cambridge. "Last month, the MIT Media
Lab Computing Counter Culture Group and the Harvard Free Culture Group held
an "iPod Liberation event" -- a RockBox and iPodLinux "installfest" for
Apple iPods. The event was held as a response to the fact that Apple
installs iPods with an operating system -- a "firmware" -- that conflicts
with the ideals of free and open source software and free culture and
treats users parternalistically and adversarially. During the event, dubbed
iRony, users were walked through the process of installing flexible and
featureful free/open source software firmware -- without DRM -- onto their
digital audio players."
