*"If consumers even know there's a DRM, what it is, and how it works, we've
already failed" - Disney Executive.*

*Defeating DRM is all about awareness*. The direct actions that we have
taken are all about this. Whether it means protesting outside Apple Stores
in Hazmat suits or getting HUGE press coverage for announcing the Bono
petition (sign it now <http://defectivebydesign.org/petition/bonopetition>).
Action gets attention, and creates space for debate. And as our friends at
Disney recognize, if there is a debate, we will have won.

Clear your schedule for a world wide day of action against DRM. *On Tuesday
October 3rd we will all be taking action to raise the stakes and attempt to
increase awareness to the threats of DRM - in a very significant way.*

Add the action that you will
take!<http://defectivebydesign.org/actions/plan_your_october_3rd_action>(real
world or virtual) and ask others to join you. Or join
the actions already
planned<http://defectivebydesign.org/en/actions/oct3list>and get
connected to others in your town.

Submit your ideas <http://defectivebydesign.org/node/add/content-idea> for
October 3rd and we will be ready to make it happen. Tell
us<http://defectivebydesign.org/node/add/content-idea>how you think we
can, together, raise awareness to defeat DRM. We will award
prizes for the best ideas and
actions<http://defectivebydesign.org/actions/plan_your_october_3rd_action>.


Yes, that's right, to add a little more fun to the events (and we just love
to get competitive here at DbD) we will award prizes for things like Best
Idea, Best Action, Best Team Action, Best Photo, Best Blog, Best Video, Most
People Contacted, Thing that makes us laugh.... and others. Submit your

*Based upon your actions on October
3rd<http://defectivebydesign.org/actions/plan_your_october_3rd_action>we
will fulfill Big Media's worst nightmare: public awareness about the
dangers of DRM.*
