front , Ihate DRMas much as anyone . ButDefective by Design‘s latest anti - DRM campaign is supremely douchey . They ’re calling on suspensor to hold as many slots as possible at Genius Bars around the humanity this Friday and Saturday — where people go to get their busted Apple prettywares fixed — to complain about DRM for “ get Apple ’s attention and ensure that the Geniuses have done their homework . ” You know , and be giant dickbags .

Here ’s why this is so obnoxious : They ’re not just screwing over actual the great unwashed — you know , a mom or some college nestling who really just want to get their computer sterilize — but Apple is n’t going to drop DRM in response to this lame stunt . If you really experience that the “ iPhone 3Grestricts your exemption , ” just do n’t bribe it [ emphasis theirs ] . Mock people ’s ignorance , call them iSheep , hand out snazzy bill , trim up like a drooling iPod in cage , whatever . But just have them get their goddamn computers and gadgets situate in peace . TheGenius Barlines are long enough as it is . [ bad by Design ]
