* Email Steve Jobs at address@hidden to let him know that you won't buy an
iPhone because of its DRM -- and CC us at address@hidden
Apple's lawyers, led by David L. Hayes of Fenwick & West LLP, claimed in
comments submitted to the US Copyright Office that the Digital Restrictions
Management (DRM) system on the iPhone is necessary to combat drug dealers,
safeguard the cell phone network, and prevent you from hurting yourself. They
submitted these comments in response to the Electronic Frontier Foundation's
request that users be able to "jailbreak" their iPhones.
Greed like Apple's, which will stoop to the lowest kinds of threats to justify
crippling everyone else's potential, is the threat to our fundamental security
that we should be worried about.
You can help fight this nonsense by writing Steve Jobs at address@hidden and
letting him know that you won't buy an iPhone because of its proprietary
software and DRM -- and CC us at address@hidden
