Boing Boing Staging

Anti-DRM flashmob hits Paris CD superstore


A group of technology activists staged an anti-DRM flashmob/protest in a large Paris music-shop yesterday. The group is called STOPDRM, a created by members of the Framasoft.net forum, where free software enthusiasts gather.

The activists went to FNAC, a giant record store, and at 7PM, a whistle was blown, whereupon the whole group unfolded anti-DRM signs saying things like “STOP DRM” “SAY NO TO RESTRICTED CDs” “YOU OWN THE MUSIC YOU BUY” and began to hand out leaflets explaining the dangers of DRM to other patrons. After they were all kicked out, they set up an anti-DRM information picket in front of the story.
