Day Against DRM Web Site (Sunday, July 9th)
The International 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.

Event in Washington, DC
Washington DC: Screening and Discussion of 'Steal this Film'
Steal this Film is a documentary about copyright -- the underlying legal basis for DRM -- and the activists which have fought to reform it. Though the film does not perfectly match the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) opinion about copyright, we believe it's an excellent basis for discussion about DRM and how to stop it.
You won't need any prior knowledge of DRM or copyright issues to enjoy the movie or the discussion. FSF campaigns manager Zak Rogoff is hosting and would be glad to discuss the Foundation's work beyond anti-DRM activism.

There will be an info point next to the Sessions Room with flyers, and then the usual 8-bit Party gently beated by 0r4 and its hacked rockin' Game boy.
