5 reasons to avoid iPhone 3G  5 reasons to avoid iPhone 3G

,----[ Quote ]
| The 5 real reasons to avoid iPhone 3G:
| 
|     * iPhone completely blocks free software. Developers must pay a tax to 
|     Apple, who becomes the sole authority over what can and can't be on 
|     everyone's phones.  
|     * iPhone endorses and supports Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) 
|     technology. 
|     * iPhone exposes your whereabouts and provides ways for others to track 
|     you without your knowledge. 
|     * iPhone won't play patent- and DRM-free formats like Ogg Vorbis and 
|     Theora. 
|     * iPhone is not the only option. There are better alternatives on the 
|     horizon that respect your freedom, don't spy on you, play free media 
|     formats, and let you use free software -- like the FreeRunner.

Action alert: Don't let the EU sanction DRM

,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday, Viviane Reding, European Union commissioner for information 
| society and media, issued a report sanctioning a "transparent" DRM framework 
| for the EU. This irresponsible and senseless report comes just a day before 
| Sony BMG announced that they would join Warner Music Group, EMI, and 
| Vivendi's Universal Music Group in selling DRM-free music downloads in the 
| United States.
