No. Organisations take a lot more notice of multiple individual letters than petitions, which are seen to represent special interest groups, rather than the general public.

I'm sure masses of individual letters would be great, but so would organized efforts. This is precisely why those "evil special interests" have "powerful lobbying efforts" and is why anyone who disagrees with them hates them so much. Because when people unite to pool their money, time, and effort, they are effective. Last edited by ApK; 10-06-2011 at 10:24 AM. |

I'm going to send my own letter as well, but I'd love to see a petition start up. |

Too bad this thread isn't in the political section, because I'd have a comment then.

I think if you buy a book it should be DRM free in the sense of the present form of DRM. If it were a individual watermark that showed up on the title page of a book once you buy it or some other such that could identify the actual owner of said copy that would be far better I think.

Yep, there is a separate forum for Politics and Religion. You have to ask to join it though or something as I recall otherwise you can't get in it. I forget who you contact but I'm sure one of the moderators could probably direct you if nothing else.

Click the "User CP" link at the top of the screen to go to your control panel. Select "Group Memberships" from the left-side options, and join the "Hardened Debaters" group. You'll then see the "Politics and Religion" forum in the forums list, next to the "Lounge".

In this case, they are only going to include a handful of exceptions, so it would seem to more effective if large numbers of people can agree on ONE exception they'd like rather than large numbers off folks all requesting their personal variant..."splitting the vote" in a sense. |

They should let you crack any DRM that is paired with a terms of use that together effectively prevent resale or renting out of copyright works.

Same issue as Kevin. 404 Not Found. Is there a new link or something? Anyone know?

But the concept is something that can be worked with. And I'd love to see that conversation really happen. DRM, on the other hand, is an inherently flawed system and there's really no way to change that without winding up with something that's unrecognizable from present DRM. |
