It's one thing to have a guest address sans coat and tie--quite
another to have one barefoot on stage. But this is exactly what
Richard Stallman provided on Wednesday. The Union heard rms rage
against DRM--see the minutes for the blow-by-blow--and went on to
agree with him, to the surprise of many, passing the resolution
"Resolved: Digital Restrictions Management should be Illegal." (Not
that this would be the first time the Union disagreed with the world
at large.) From the YDN:
Amidst hisses and applause, political activist Richard
Stallman--standing barefoot behind a podium, sporting a wild beard and
playing with his long, shaggy hair--discussed what he terms the
"conspiracy" of companies against the consumer Wednesday night.
But before he could even take the stage, Mr. Stallman's way was
blocked by a squad of ninjas (Picture 1, Picture 2) reenacting an XKCD
webcomic. Needless to say, the ninjas failed in their quest to bring
rms' days of free software advocacy to an end, and he took the
interruption with good humor and grace.
