Thank you for the links, Thomas and Daniel. Re "locked PDF": my bad 
formulation - in fact, I was able to print the files. I meant that it 
was impossible to copy excerpts of the text, or to search for words in 
it, and that the Adobe PDF -> text page could not convert it. Which 
means that they are probably not readable straight with a screen reader, 
doesn't it?

I did so, suggesting they add links to

A) <http://www.consumersdigitalrights.org/cms/index_en.php> (and for 
Italian, to <http://www.altroconsumo.it/map/src/89891.htm>)

B)http://www.digitalconsumer.org/

in the "Campagnes à l'étranger" section of their recommended links, for 
balance's sake.

And expressing mild bafflement at the Microsoft-sponsored game.
