FSF helps a RIAA court victim
I’ve just stumbled upon an email-alert from the guys @www.defectivebydesign.org, friends fighting for digital-free media, anti DRM restrictions. The news for FSF (Free Software Foundation) fighting for the rights of a victim of the RIAA Corporate Copyright Court Propaganda CCCP 
FSF got involved under the presumption of 3rd interest party, since anti-copyright is the ground principle behind the foundation principles and the promotion of open “free” code and software standards. I was excited by the fact a new battle front had been set on between the corporate and foundation business models. Indeed, not hard to anticipate since FSF ought to stand and repraZent. I guess, the RIAA/DRM image of the future pushed someones buttons…
Bottom line, the poor guy got reimbursed for his expenses for the court-case and then proudly took the medal as yet another survival of this nonsense war against end-user a.k.a. customers. If not anything else RIAA keeps on taking bad publicity backed by full governmental support. Obamas’ hopenosse fades away and people must clearly see no change comes in the form of cheep commercial but on steady AOction!
