It's about time the public stood up and made themselves heard. I know that the protest have been done and I'm not a fan of protests cos I thin it's just a lot of tree huggin hippy cr*p that people jump on cos they think it's cool.
What we need to do is make as many people aware as possible over something like a 1 month advertising blitz (flyers etc.) any way you can. And then on the end of this, there should be a boycott of all music purchases. We need to do this and keep to it for longer than just a day. It is this and only this that will get control back to the people. Musicians don't even get a say in this, they have the technology to produce and publish their own material now, so lets give them initial control back too.
If you want something to happen, you have to commit yourself to doing it and stop winging. We don't like something they force on us, so don't use it and watch them go out of business. By then they will be crying out for the file swappers.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
