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 
<http://dayagainstdrm.org/>.

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 
<https://crm.fsf.org/civicrm/profile/create?gid=28&reset=1>.
