Yesterday Real Network's launched the "Freedom of Choice" anti-Apple ad campaign, website and online petition in its efforts to stop Apple from keeping the iPod a "locked" platform. Today, the campaign has backfired with over 500 mostly anti-Real comments appearing on the petition's website resulting in Real removing the link to freedomofmusicchoice.org on its website.
