Anti-DRM video contest for Oct 3 Day Against DRM

Cory Doctorow 12:43 pm Sat Sep 16, 2006

Fred sez,

Enter FreeCulture.org's Down with DRM video contest for a chance to win a Neuros OSD – a portable digital VCR!

FreeCulture.org wants you to make your own anti-drm video and upload it to any video-sharing site. Please tag your videos with "downwithdrm" and "dbdoct3" and send us a link. We'll then choose the 5 best videos and award the creators of each one a Neuros OSD (a $230 value).
Preference will be given to videos licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA, BY, PD, or the Free Art license.

DefectiveByDesign.org will then run select videos on their website during the week of October 3rd as part of their DRM protests.
