35 Days Against DRM — Economic Boycott of DRM This Gift Giving Season
Starting this Black Friday and over the next 35 days leading up to the end of 2008, we want your help in promoting a consumer boycott of Digital Restrictions Management. Every day we'll be publishing your stories -- about a product, company, service, executive or politician that has has inflicted the nightmare of Digital Restrictions Management on you and our society, reminding us all why this holiday season we need an all-out boycott.
We ask you to join us to participate in this action and to actively campaign with us against DRM-laden products. Get involved by sending us your ideas and suggestions, and we'll pick the best ones and promote them to remind people why we need this boycott.
You can support us in this by:
- Sending us your favorite story of how DRM has proven itself stupid.
- Sending us your ideas for defective product, company, service, executive or politician to shame
- Join us and digg our choices and encouraging your friends to do the same
- Hit the streets with our flyer and let the shoppers know to avoid DRM
- Displaying any of our graphics and widgets on your website
As a bonus - every chosen submission will win its author one of our t-shirts and a free album download courtesy of our friends at Magnatune where all music is DRM-free.
In the last year, we've seen attacks from Apple, Adobe, Microsoft, EA Games, Amazon, Google and Sony, but there are others. Send us your suggestions, or better yet a short blog post for your nomination.
Every post will be edited by us, so don't worry about getting it perfect -- the most important thing is getting the idea to us!
This is your opportunity to really make a difference -- if you've been too busy to actively campaign against DRM this year, now is your chance to fix that. Send us your ideas and blog entries now!
