Porn Site technique used to promote OOXML
,----[ Quote ]
| In March 26, 2008, was celebrated around the world the first Document Freedom
| Day (documentfreedom.org/). Notice the site's name: Document
| Freedom dot org.
|
| While refusing all around the world to participate in a celebration towards
| the promotion and usage of open standards, Microsoft even goes to the point
| of issuing a press release in Portugal against ANSOL's Document Freedom Day
| announcement.
|
| Meanwhile, anonymous supporters of OOXML use Domains by Proxy registar in
| order to register a site with a very similar address of Document Freedom
| Day's. The OOXML support site is Document Freedom Day **dot com** and
| redirects to a well known astroturf site which pretends to be a community of
| OOXML supporters.
