DefectiveByDesign is organizing some protests (or actions as they put it) that will be coinciding with the Windows Vista launch parties that are going to be held in New York City.
If you are going to attend, you are asked that you obey the law and respect private property while you help raise public awareness to DRM's threat to both consumer and privacy rights.

I just finished reading an excellent article regarding Digital Rights Management (DRM) on Polishlinux.
The article, entitled "DRM, Vista, and your rights", gives an readers an easy to understand and well thought out view on why DRM is harmful to consumers and what they can do to protect themselves from it.
It is one of the best anti-DRM articles that I have read in quite awhile and I highly recommend reading this article, and passing it around to your friends and associates.

In an recent interview with Computerworld at the linux.conf.au conference, Linus Torvalds gave his thoughts on Windows Vista. Here are a few quick excerpts:
"I don't actually think that something like Vista will change how people work that much. I think it, to some degree, has been over-hyped as being something completely new and I don't actually think it is."
