DefectiveByDesign Flash Mob Anti-DRM Action June 10, 2006
Cambridge, Massachusetts 02141
DefectiveByDesign is organizing flash mobs at Apple stores across the country
this Saturday from 10:30am protesting Digital Restrictions Management (DRM)
inside the iPod and iTunes.
All you need to do is turn up and join the mob and smile for the camera, as
they will be capturing photos and video to be posted on the website
http://defectivebydesign.org/ and republished by the national media.
Email us so we know you are coming [email protected] (include a
phone number and we will call you with meet-up info)
The first flash mob was a lot of fun and got huge coverage, with front page
stories on Slashdot, Digg and BoingBoing. In the two weeks since the launch on
May 23 we have had 2,000 technologists take the pledge to help us spread the
word about DRM. Raising awareness about DRM is vital. These kind of events get
the press coverage that gets people discussing the issues. Once people know
about DRM, we win.

The address is actually on CambridgeSide Place. Google Maps will find it as written above, but you need to use CambridgeSide Place to find it on Yahoo or MapQuest.
@artisharder: The info is there. What's missing? Outside the Apple Store, Saturday, 10:30am.
