Dear Marcos,

Using Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) to lock down citizens is
 unethical. It strips us of our rights to control the devices and computers
 we own, and takes away the traditional uses we have made of music and video.
 We don't want these handcuffs on our society! Why do they think they can get
 away with imposing this on us?

Send a message to Steve Jobs, Bono and Edgar Bronfman Jr. today.

We have seen time and time again that DRM schemes just don't work as
 advertised. We are told that DRM will stop counterfeiting, but the organized
 crime rings are unaffected by DRM. Customers who do hand over money to
 purchase music and video from Big Media are the only ones penalized by DRM.
 Yet despite all the evidence of how quickly DRM schemes like HD DVD and
 BluRay are cracked - these individuals from the technology, media, and
 entertainment industries still hold out hope of putting bigger handcuffs on
 us, or devising more complex big brother monitoring schemes. This is why
 they lobbied for legislation like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
 (DMCA) that makes anyone who circumvents a DRM scheme a criminal.

DRM hucksters keep on selling them on the idea that the DRM is the answer,
 and because the alternative - accepting that DRM is unethical and broken,
 doesn't fit their desires - like the proverbial ostrich, they just stick
 their heads in the sand, and continue to lead themselves and their
 organizations astray.

But what if there was a way to guarantee that technology could lock down
 citizens, that they could build an impregnable DRM scheme, that all our
 computers could be owned by the entertainment industry? Would they do that?
 What about the cost to society? Would they care?

Join us in sending a message to Steve Jobs, Edgar Bronfman Jr. and Bono then
 spread the word to your friends.
