Nice job, guys! The general public (you know, the ones who actually make iTMS popular, not a bunch of technically proficient diggers) doesn't even know what DRM is, and sure as hell isn't going to ask a bunch of freaks in HAZMAT suits about it or why they should care about it, making your protest useless. But at least you got yourselves on boingboing!

Here's a flickr photoset of last weekend's protests. Judge for yourself if this was an effective protest or just naive attention whoring or something else.<a class="user" href="http://flickr.com/search/?q=defectivebydesign&d=taken-20060609-20060612">http://flickr.com/search/?q=defectivebydesign&d=taken-20060609-20060612</a>
