Stallman and Free Software Foundation launch Day Against DRM

“Tuesday May 4 has been named as this year’s Day against Digital
Rights Management (DRM) by the President of the Free Software
Foundation.

“DRM is a technology used with digital files that are
copyrighted to ensure than can not be copied to other devices.

“Richard Stallman said the day was designed to “raise public
awareness to the danger of technology that restricts users’ access
to movies, music, literature and software; indeed, all forms of
digital data”.

“”Its [DRM] means is to force you to use proprietary software,
which means you don’t control what it does. When companies organise
to design products to restrict us, we have to organise to defeat
them.”
