Day Against DRM

• 2012 Day Against DRM
• 2011 Day Against DRM
• 2010 Day Against DRM

Actions

• Brick Nintendo before they brick you! -- send bricks to Nintendo America to protest their obnoxious Terms of Service and restrictive DRM system, which allows them to remotely disable any user's device
• Help Stamp Out DRM in Education -- add schools that require or distribute DRM-infected devices to this list.
• Double-plus ungood: give Amazon's Kindle a 1-star review
• We believe in the freedom to read
• Apple says you can't have freedom because you might be clumsy, evil, and a drug dealer

Holiday Buying Guide

The 2011 Holiday Buying Guide can be updated, especially with more recommendations of what people can spend their money on. People have been mailing in suggestions and so we are going to compile them and vet them. You can help.
