Dear Santa, This Christmas...
This Christmas, give the gift of digital freedom by not buying an Ipod or any other DRM-encrusted device.
This tired old catch phrase of "voting with your dollars" is still valid. Don't like DRM? Hate the idea of your lawfully-purchased music files lose all usefulness and value when you can't transfer them to another device? Hate being told by faceless corporations that you can't take precautions to back-up, protect, or even use your purchase without their permission?
Then stop supporting their DRM-dependency by not feeding the beast. Don't enable those companies to invest in DRM development with your own money. Don't buy an Ipod because it's cute and everyone else has one. Buy a device that will play more than one format. Buy songs that can be played on more than one platform.
Be a proactive consumer and BOYCOTT ITunes!
Tell your friends. Tell your co-workers. Tell your family. And find power in your decisions and choices again.
‘Dear Santa, please give me my presents without DRM.’
