So there is a nice report on cnet about an human denial of service attack on the Apple Retail Store Genius Bars.
According to this story, and the FSF site DefectiveByDesign, the goal is to book as many 10-minute time slots as possible over a two-day period at the Apple Store in a lame attempt to bring more attention to what the FSF sees as the defective nature of the iPhone 3G.
Richard Stallman, the founder of the FSF, has stated:
The motive for DRM schemes is to increase profits for those who impose them, but their profit is a side issue when millions of people’s freedom is at stake; desire for profit, though not wrong in itself, cannot justify denying the public control over its technology. Defending freedom means thwarting DRM.
He also describes DRM as Digital Restrictions Management:
However, since its purpose is to restrict you the user, it is more accurate to describe DRM as Digital Restrictions Management.
