Group: Defective by Design/Day Against DRM 2011
← Day Against DRM 2010 | Day Against DRM 2012 →
A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the 2011 Day Against DRM. I hope to see you all next year!
The Day Against DRM is an opportunity to unite a wide range of projects, public interest organizations, web sites and individuals in an effort to raise public awareness to the danger of technology that requires users to give-up control of their computers or that restricts access to digital data and media. This year, we'll be helping individuals and groups work together to create local actions in their communities — actions will range from protesting an unfriendly hardware vendor to handing out informative fliers at local public libraries!
