Defective by Design

What is DRM? Digital Restrictions Management. DefectiveByDesign.org is a broad-based anti-DRM campaign that is targeting Big Media, unhelpful manufacturers and DRM distributors. The campaign aims to make all manufacturers wary about bringing their DRM-enabled products to market. DRM products have features built-in that restrict what jobs they can do. These products have been intentionally crippled from the users' perspective, and are therefore "defective by design".

What is it with this fad of labelling everything you don't like (and only the ones you don't like - one never hears of Big Organic, Big Altmed, or Big Wind Power) as "Big {industry}"? Can I start talking of people who dislike DRM as Big Anti-DRM?

"Restrictions" seems more appropriate.

just my 2cents (€).
