DRM ACTION ALERT ________________________________
________________________________




Dear Jose,

In the 85 days since we started, nearly 8000 of us have signed up at
DefectiveByDesign.org to take action and proclaim our support of
digital freedoms by opposing DRM.

On Friday, August 18th, we'll have a day of action, and you won't even
have to leave your desk. We will provide contact numbers for
executives at the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and
similar trade organizations around the world.  Proclaim your support
for digital freedoms by calling the MPAA and telling them what you
think of DRM and what you think of them!

Digg this action.

Spread the word about this call-in by asking your friends to register
today! When you log in on Friday we'll give you a special number to
call. After you make the call, let us know how it goes.

Already know what you are going to say? Share it with us and other
activists at DefectiveByDesign.org.

Remember, tell your friends about this action; the more people that
take part, the more fun this will be. If we all make calls, we can let
the industry hear our voices all through the workday. The MPAA pushes
DRM on us; it's time to push back!




In Solidarity,

Gregory, Peter, Henri and the rest of the DRM Elimination Crew





More information about the MPAA:
The MPAA represents the major movie houses, and their influence plays
a leading role in pushing DRM into our technology. The MPAA were the
lead lobbyists for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, that now
makes it a crime to circumvent DRM technology. They are lobbying right
now for legislation to mandate a Broadcast Flag inside digital TV
signals that will prevent recording, and for legislation mandating
closure of the Analog Hole, that would require all devices to handle
encrypted DRM signals. These laws will turn our homes into DRM prisons
and hand unprecedented power to Hollywood.




More information about DRM:
Big Media would have you believe that DRM stands for Digital Rights
Management. However, since its purpose is to restrict you the user, it
is more accurate to describe DRM as Digital Restrictions Management.
DRM Technology can restricts users’ access to movies, music,
literature and software, indeed all forms of digital data. Unfree
software implementing DRM technology is simply a prison in which users
can be put to deprive them of the rights that the law would otherwise
allow them.
