iPod battery direct action

There have been a number of reports that the rechargeable battery in the early Apple iPod’s stop holding a charge after about eighteen months of usage - leaving the player unusable unless plugged into the mains.

Currently Apple’s only solution is to send the iPod to them, as the battery is held within the tightly packed devices, and pay $255 to have it “refurbished”. Not everyone is happy about this, and some are taking direct action stencilling iPod posters. They also made a short film about it.
