Z:gnu-www-ja-the-root-of-this-problem--7c3f3a-The iPhone is designed for rem/en

The iPhone is designed for remote attack by Apple. When Apple remotely destroys iPhones that users have unlocked to enable other uses, that is no better than when Microsoft remotely sabotages Vista. The TiVo is designed to enforce restrictions on access to the recordings you make, and reports what you watch. E-book readers such as the Amazon &ldquo;Swindle&rdquo; are designed to stop you from sharing and lending your books. Features that artificially obstruct use of your data are known as Digital Restrictions Management (DRM); our protest campaign against DRM is hosted at http://defectivebydesign.org. (Our adversaries call DRM &ldquo;Digital Rights Management&rdquo; based on their idea that restricting you is their right. When you choose a term, you choose your side.)
