The Free Software Foundation and DefectiveByDesign have been working with
attorney Ray Beckerman to help
fight for victims of the RIAA's baseless intimidation campaign. The RIAA
recently took
notice,
calling our position -- and by extension the position of many other anti-DRM
activists -- "virulent" and "baseless."

Sadly, President Bush has allowed himself and the Department of Justice to be
manipulated by the RIAA and MPAA. On October 13th, he signed the PRO-IP bill
into law, ignoring calls to veto it and pretty clear indications that the bill
was promoted using completely fabricated
statistics.

This afternoon Information Week published a great article by Cory Doctorow about how big corporations and shadowy associations and working groups collude to develop DRM schemes and the laws that mandate them.
The piece is very long, and very good. Everyone who is interested in this sort of thing should give it a read and then tell your friends and family about it.
Here is a choice excerpt from the beginning:

"If consumers even know there's a DRM, what it is, and how it works, we've already failed" - Disney Executive.
Defeating DRM is all about awareness. The direct actions that we have taken are all about this. Whether it means protesting outside Apple Stores in Hazmat suits or getting HUGE press coverage for announcing the Bono petition (sign it now). Action gets attention, and creates space for debate. And as our friends at Disney recognize, if there is a debate, we will have won.
