Photos from our second demonstration
December 1, 2005 by FredThanks to everyone who came out for our second DRM demonstration! Richard Stallman and his friends from NYFairUse joined us. RMS donned the sacred-sandwich board, we witnessed a domestic disturbance, handed out over 700 flyers, met many interested and shocked consumers and only got a little cold. As Tom mentioned in his earlier post, a manager from Tower Records came and chatted with us. He quickly denied that Tower was stocking any of the XCP-infected CDs, but Tom pulled out a Van Zant CD he had just purchased at the store! Check out pictures here and here. The manager was a really good sport about it — he told us that he’d have them pulled from the shelves “immediately.” We’ll be checking back tomorrow to see how that went. He also suggested that we go and protest at the Sony store in midtown, and we thought this was a great idea, so keep an eye out for another DRM demonstration up on 55th and Madison.
Anyway, check out the full photo set here:
Great job, and thanks again to everyone who came out!
