Today is the International Day Against DRM. Boing Boing has a post that summarizes some of the various activities going on. Cory’s intro reads:
“Today is October 3, the International Day Against DRM — the first global day where people rise up and say no to anti-copying technology that treats you like a crook. Remember, DRM doesn’t stop “piracy” — the only people who get DRM infections are people who don’t pirate their media. You get DRM by buying your movies, music, games and books through authorized channels — the stuff you download from P2P or buy off of a blanket at a flea-market has already had the DRM cracked off of it. They say that DRM “keeps honest people honest” — but all it does is keep honest people in chains.”
Fight the power, man. Free the pixels! Freedom for our 1s and 0s. We shall overcome (their overreaching rights management technologies), etc., etc.
