What's Wrong With My iPod? Posted Thu, 08 Mar 2007

Last November I wrote about an iPod liberation party we held in Cambridge. As I mentioned then, it was a huge success. Mika just got around to polishing up a short documentary video she made from footage at the event and a few interviews afterward. The documentary is called, What's Wrong With My iPod? and it acts as an introduction to DRM on iPods and what we can do about it.

The video introduces the concept of DRM, the dangers it brings, and describes the role it plays on the iPod. The second half is about iRony, our iPod liberation party, and RockBox.

Please pass the video links around to your friends -- especially those who might not be up to speed on DRM. If it inspires you, think about running your own iPod Liberation Party (instructions here).

You can view it on blip.tv (only MP4 until their converter catches up), on YouTube, or you can just download the OGG theora file (also in high quality).
