I've seen the 'defective by design' and 'kindle swindle' tags on various ebooks on the Amazon website, and to be honest they irritate the hell out of me.
I see this tactic as similar to those WTO protestors who smashed the Niketown windows and stole products, to show their disapproval of global trade. Hypocrites.
If you don't want a Kindle, don't buy one. Defacing the Amazon website, with bogus tags or bogus comments, only hardens the viewpoints of those who disagree with you.
The Kindle is an Amazon product. Amazon has the right to determine what they sell, and how they sell. Customers have the right to buy, or to not buy.
DRM really isn't a big deal, IMO. The only reason I'd worry about it is if Amazon goes out of business, and then someone will write an AZW cracker and Amazon won't be around to sue them.
