Re: Feb. 25th noon. I hope you guys “Kick Ass”. You have my backup 100%. I’ve been a Recording Engineer for over 30 yrs. & most bands/artists I talk to would rather have their music listened to by all instead of being restricted by so called “Big Corporations”. DRM is a definite No No according to most artists/bands. Remember that in the end, people power wins, not big corporations. Eastern Canada wishes you all the best. Regards: dejc

Givem Hell: The problem with record label headquarters is that neutral consumers do not usually visit them, only people who are involved in the record label somehow. A record store is full of ordinary consumers who may be about to get screwed by a DRM-ed CD, and deserve to be informed. I think the goal of the protest is more to inform people about the problems with DRM than to specifically apply pressure to any record label in particular (although Sony does suck that little bit extra).

Great Idea Guys.
I’m a musician from England and believe these ‘companies’ are using under-hand tactics to completely control music and software.
No-one should be allowed to install any form of software onto ‘our’ PC’s without our permission.
And then this software controls how we use the products we have purchased.
Get a list out of all ‘companies’ who are using this method, and ALL consumers ‘Black-list’ them. Don’t buy any products from them.
Keep up the good work, never give up, we will win this if we stick together.

Hi Everyone,

I applaud you guys for protesting, but wouldn’t it be better to protest at the music labels’ headquarters or wherever the labels do business.?

I think these labels that release music with drm wouldn’t mind/care so much if the protests are at the retail store level. They may say to themselves,” We’re sure glad those protestors are causing so much trouble for the stores and not us (labels).” So if possible, seek out the label’s headquarters and raise some hell !!!

Considering my location (Canada) and the fact that I’m aware of what you guys are doing tomorrow, means that your message has reached the masses, and I’m sure the rest of the world support you guys.

GOOD LUCK

Fantastic! I’m very excited to attend the protest, and will be bringing along a couple dozen printouts of the flyers you provided a link to. The printer I have access to sucks, so the quality won’t be great. Still, I’m happy to come along and support a good cause… or rather, to protest bad policy.
