Cloudy, with scary spells
The BigBrotherAward given to Gamma for their spying software starts a public debate, which is highly necessary. This software is sold to intelligence agencies and state institutions in Germany and abroad. The award in the Communication category calls for vigilence. It goes to the Cloud, which more and more people trust with their data. The audience award goes to Brita, a company that tries to spread spy chips among thirsty pupils.
