The 3rd of October has been announced as the â??Day Against DRMâ??. All over the world action groups are going out to protest against the uses and abuses of DRM. Naturally we will be active in Göteborg – more information below.
The point of the day is to be able to bring forward information to the general public and to show that the public concern about DRM is not limited to online virtual activity.
Anti-DRM actions in the past have taken the form of protesters, often wearing yellow (preferably haz-mat) suits protesting and handing out material.
Here is an example of an anti-DRM action which was held in Chicago on June 10, 2006
Naturally there will be an anti-DRM action in my hometown of Göteborg. So if you want the opportunity to see me in a yellow safety suit, why not join in and take a stand against DRM.
So you want to join in? or just watch the party? Well the dates and times are
3 October 08.30-10.15 Chalmersplatsen (outside Chalmers main entrance)
3 October 11.45-13.15 the corner of �. Hamngatan & �. Larmgatan (next to Kopparmärra)
If you let me know if you are interested in joining in then maybe I can organise a yellow suit for you!
For those of you who maybe follow this blog you will realise that the 3 October is the day after I defend my PhD. So this will be the day after the party…
