Group: Defective by Design/Day Against DRM 2019

Day Against DRM Web Site (Saturday, October 12th)

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 will be focusing specifically on a student's right to learn, and will be urging publishers to free students and educators from the unnecessary and cumbersome restrictions that make that process far more difficult.

Interested in planning an event? Please join the DRM Elimination crew discussion list. If you're looking for help with the organizing process, don't hesitate to send an email asking if there are others in your area -- the list has people all over the world. Once you've decided to host an event, please add it to this page, along with any necessary contact information. It's good to add it as soon as you have a date and contact info, even if you're still working out the details. Make sure to include the what, where, and when, along with your contact info for potential attendees. If you host one, please send photos to info@defectivebydesign.org.
