Important victory for DefectiveByDesign at MacWorldExpo

Published by Stef at 8:59 am under community, fsf

The MacWorldExpo started with a sweet sweet victory for FSF’s campaign DefectiveByDesign: all the songs sold on iTunes by the music majors will be available without any Digital Restrictions Management scheme.
