Demonstration against DRM in HTML

We'll rally in front of the global office of World Wide Web Consortium (which just happens to be in the same building as LibrePlanet) to oppose a disastrous proposal to add Digital Restrictions Management to the HTML standard. We'll hear experts and activists speak on the topic, and distribute flyers, right outside an ongoing W3C event.

To get a briefing on the campaign (and optionally make a sign for the rally), join us at the LibrePlanet session before the closing keynote. Read more about the campaign to keep DRM out of HTML and sign the petition.
