Hello Kainui,



In the last year, we've seen DRM spread into more types of products,
with Mozilla giving in to DRM in its Firefox Web browser
<https://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-condemns-partnership-between-mozilla-and-adobe-to-support-digital-restrictions-management>
and the media fawning over Apple's DRM-laden "smart" watch
<https://www.defectivebydesign.org/node/2329>. But more people are
waking up to DRM's oppressive effect every day, and the movement to
regain control of our technology is growing.



*On Wednesday, May 6, 2015, our global community will come together for
the ninth International Day Against DRM <http://dayagainstdrm.org>.
We'll be gathering, protesting, making, and sharing, showing the world
and the media that we insist on a future without DRM. We expect this to
be one of the biggest, most diverse Days of action against DRM ever.*



The Day is in a month, but you can get started now. Here's what you can
do today, on dayagainstdrm.org <http://dayagainstdrm.org>:

Print What is DRM Flyer
Print the double-sided flyer in color or black & white
<https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/dbd/drm-flyer/drm-flyer.zip>

  *

    Check out the growing list of events on the LibrePlanet wiki

<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Defective_by_Design/Day_Against_DRM_2015>.
    More coming soon! Join the announcements list
    <http://defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm/mailinglist> and tell us
    where you live to get notifications about new events held by
    like-minded people in your area.

    Get your friends together and plan an event. This year we've even
    got an event planning guide and a shiny new flyer
    <https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/dbd/drm-flyer/drm-flyer.zip>
    (translations coming soon!) for you to use to spread awareness of
    DRM in your community. Not into flyering? The site has a list of
    other ideas for events. Whatever you choose to do, let us know at
    address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden> and
    we'll be glad to answer any questions you have and promote it to
    people in your area. We recommend you also add it to the list

<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Defective_by_Design/Day_Against_DRM_2015>
    as soon as possible, even if you haven't work out all the details yet.


  *

    Translate our flyer into your language. Even if you can't hand it
    out in your country, someone else might. All translations will be
    posted on dayagainstdrm.org as they are completed. We've set up a
    translation area on the LibrePlanet wiki

<https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Defective_by_Design/DRM_flyer_translation>.
    Please be sure to read all instructions before you begin.


  *

    Draft a blog post or make a video talking about the dangers of DRM,
    and get ready to post it on May 6th. Feel free to contact us at
    address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden> if
    you'd like advice or help.


  *

    For a quick action, microblog <https://www.fsf.org/twitter> before
    and on the Day with the hashtag #DayAgainstDRM.

We'll keep in touch with more info leading up to the Day, when we'll use
the site to coordinate actions and events. Until then, let's spread the
word so that this can be the most powerful International Day Against DRM
ever.
