Defective by Design

While DRM has largely been defeated in downloaded music, it is a growing
problem in the area of ebooks, where people have had their books
restricted so they can't freely loan, re-sell or donate them, read them
without being tracked, or move them to a new device without
re-purchasing all of them. They've even had their ebooks deleted by
companies without their permission. It continues to be a major issue in
the area of movies and video too.

Join us in working to eliminate DRM!

Please visit dayagainstdrm.org for more information.

On May 4th, the Defective by Design DRM Elimination Crew will of course
be running an event in Boston. But for this day to send a strong message
against DRM, we need people all over the world to join us and hold their
own events!

As well as attending or running events, you can join other activists in
blogging about DRM, putting up banners on your Web sites and blogs,
talking about DRM on your social networks and more. See below for an
evolving list of all the different ways you can help raise awareness.

Please mark your calendars, and join the Day Against DRM mailing list
for frequent updates between now and May 4th.

Please visit dayagainstdrm.org for more information.

Matt, Josh, John and Richard
The DRM Elimination Crew
