[Fsuk-manchester] Day Against DRM in Manchester - Friday, May 4th, 2012

[Michael Dorrington]

It is International Day Against DRM on Friday.
http://dayagainstdrm.org

DRM includes stopping you putting the Operating System you want on your
computer¹, see:
http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/statement

MFS are running a local event.  We are meeting at Madlab at 7pm *sharp*
(so don't be late) on Friday, May 4th, 2012.  We will have a brief
overview of DRM and then we will go out around Manchester campaigning
until about 9pm.  Then to the pub for discussion.

Hope to see you there,
Mike.
MFS Chair.

¹ Of course, it is always about who has the keys and so the control.

People will be hosting events all over the world protesting DRM and
the companies who use it. We'd like to let you know about the ones
happening in your area, so you can meet up with your fellow local
activists for a fun and meaningful day of protest.
