The group "free culture" based at the Pennsylvania school is organizing a student boycott for this Saturday concerning the recent usage of DRM or Digital Rights Management, which help identify disks and limit ripping of cds. They are protesting the way the technology has been unleashed on our culture and it's limiting of the consumers digital rights, all while using the guise of sale as an acceptance of contract.

Free Culture is a group that promotes ideas like free thought, open-source software, business networking, and consumer advocacy.


So , what is your take on this event? Is DRM a technology society should accept or an unfair way for companies to limit rights? DRM is easy to surpass, but that may not always be the case, at least temporarily. Do you side with DRM producing labels? Consumer activists? Would you support a compromise, like a voluntary labeling of all DRM realted CDs?
