This is what folks should do more often, a bit of "public awareness" never hurt anyone  :D

The demonstration was coordinated by the New York University organization named FreeCulture@NYU. FreeCulture@NYU is a local chapter of the nationally based FreeCulture organization. FreeCulture aims to deconstruct the established corporate entertainment monopoly and return power back to the individual.

On the local scene tonight, FreeCulture’s objective was to educate consumers about DRM. DRM is widely recognized as any method that deters the simplistic coping of a digital format. For example, as P2P networks continue to proliferate, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) on behalf of its member companies is forcing P2P developers such as MetaMachine (eDonkey) and LimeWire to block unlicensed files. In addition, CDs are increasingly accompanied by various DRM schemes designed to deter its owner from making unrestricted copies. This could impact one’s ability to play a CD on a computer, make fair use backup copies, and inhibit portability.


Its strange to me that many are blind to the threat of buying into items like Playstations and Ipods that are ways to milk the customer of their hard earned cash regularly.
Dont allow any one company to dictate your lives folks, use your buying power to purchase items that are not available from a monopoly supplier and reap the price advantage too, your wallet will thank you  :wink:
