I’ll be holding a free Defeat DRM sticker distribution next Tuesday (October 3^rd) for those interested in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Since there was such a demand in the Dallas area for stickers, the Free Software Foundation’s DRM Elimination Crew has sent me a roll of 500 warning labels and 200 other stickers for me to distribute around the metroplex.

I want to see some creative uses of these stickers next Tuesday. Here are a few ideas for those wishing to participate:

• Hand them out to shoppers going into electronic stores, talk to them about DRM, and ask them to wear the sticker whilst they shop – ask to take their picture wearing the sticker.
• Go into the store and hand them out to the assistants and say “Hi, I’m here with regional management, and I need you to put these stickers on all the Blu-ray DVDs we carry. Can you do that now please, it’s very urgent. We have a consumer inspection team arriving here in 30 minutes. When your done, come and see me, I will be in the office”
• Give them to people you see wearing the white ear buds. Tell them not to buy from iTunes.
• Put them on the Microsoft computers at work or school and let your colleagues know that their devices are infected by DRM.
• Give them to friends and ask them to do the same.

If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and this sounds like something you’d like to attend, visit our page on the Defective by Design website to sign up and keep up to date with what’s going on.
