Worldwide flash mobs

Posted On: Mon, 2006-09-04 02:37 by placid

Instead of just campaining in the US, it'd be nice to have something worldwide (perhaps even synchronised). I'd like to suggest flash mobs outside the offices of say, the BPI, RIAA and Apple, for example.

I feel slightly helpless when I see these awesome campaigns in Seatle etc but not being able to take part!

So, what about a flash mob worldwide, of banners, and people in handcuffs expressing out utter loathing for DRM?!

CEO of BPI "sounded tired"

Posted On: Fri, 2006-06-23 09:34 by lev

One Freedom Fighter called up Peter Jamieson, the CEO of the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). Apparently, Mr. Jamieson had been getting quite a few calls that morning:

"He said that I was the 17th call he had received :) he sounded tired. I asked what he thought about DRM. He said, "I only found out what it meant a few days ago". I told him that I didn't want DRM in my music or technology. He said "DRM was allowing music to be made available online". I said I don't want locks on my culture. He said "DRM allows you buy your culture", and said I should "go and educate myself."
