Richard Stallman Protests DRM With NYU Students @ Tower Records

Richard Stallman joined member's of NYU's Free Culture Student Movement to protest the use of digital rights management (DRM) technology on music CDs - just outside of the Tower Records on Broadway and East 4th St.

It blew my mind that such all well-known and influential individual with reach to a such wide audience would anonymously take to the streets to help a small group of students protest outside tower records!

Stallman spent over an hour in front of Tower wearing a sandwich board that read, "know the difference... DRM makes your computer sick" while he repeatedly yelled "whoever tries to stop you from sharing is attacking the bonds of society" and "don't by corrupt discs that stop you from sharing".

here's a copy of the flyer they were handing out, that explains it all: http://wiki.freeculturenyu.org/wiki/index.php?title=DRM_Protest
