Wednesday May 4, 2011 will be the third annual international Day Against DRM.
The Day Against DRM is an opportunity to unite a wide range of projects, public interest organizations, web sites and individuals in an effort to raise public awareness to the danger of technology that requires users to give-up control of their computers or that restricts access to digital data and media. This year, we’ll be helping individuals and groups work together to create local actions in their communities — actions will range from protesting an unfriendly hardware vendor to handing out informative fliers at local public libraries!
DefectiveByDesign.org wants to help you plan or get involved in local actions and then broadcast your stories globally. If you are interested in taking part in this year’s Day Against DRM:
- Sign-up to our 2011 Day Against DRM mailing list
- Make plans on the 2011 Day Against DRM wiki page.
Also, there are many good blog posts from last year linked to from the 2010 Day Against DRM wiki page.
