Dear Ruben Safir,
For years, Defective by Design and the anti-[DRM][1] movement have been fighting media and proprietary software companies who want to weave Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) into the HTML standard that undergirds the Web. Winning this is a top priority for us -- the DRM proposal, known as Encrypted Media Extensions (EME), would make it cheaper and more politically acceptable to impose restrictions on Web users, opening the floodgates to a new wave of DRM throughout the Internet.
[1]: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm_digital_restrictions_management
You already helped fight EME when you signed our [petition against the Hollyweb][2]. The battle is now coming to a head as EME approaches a final vote by the Web's standardization organization, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We need to make our voices heard now -- the W3C is convening March 20-22 and is scheduled to discuss the proposal.
[2]: https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/profile/create?gid=183&reset=1
**The W3C has twenty global offices in major cities on every continent. If you live near one of them, you have a unique opportunity to make a difference in this struggle.**
Use your bike, feet, train or car to get to the nearest one and take a photo of yourself with a sign protesting DRM in HTML (try our [printable sign][3]). We have reliable advice that this will be very influential to the W3C's leadership -- if they know the whole world is watching them, it will be much harder for them to take this huge step backward for the Web. Here's the full list of offices:
[3]: https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/dbd/no-drm-in-html/no-drm-in-html-sign.pdf
* Acton, Australia * Amsterdam, The Netherlands * São Paulo, Brazil * Tampere, Finland * Paris, France * Berlin, Germany * Heraklion, Greece * Budapest, Hungary * Pune, India * Pisa, Italy * Daejeon, Korea * Rabat, Morocco * Moscow, Russia * Dakar-Fann, Senegal * Pretoria, South Africa * Asturias, Spain * Kista, Sweden * Oxford, United Kingdom * Cambridge, United States * Kanagawa, Japan
You can find the precise addresses of the offices (except the [USA's][4] and [Japan's][5]) on [this W3C page][6]. If you don't live near one, we're happy to accept protest selfies with signs taken elsewhere.
[4]: https://www.w3.org/Consortium/contact-mit [5]: https://www.w3.org/Consortium/contact-keio [6]: https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Offices/staff
Please send your pictures to and, if you're on [social media][7], post them with the hashtag #hollyweb. **To put pressure on the W3C leading up to its big meeting, make sure to send us your photos by Thursday, March 17th.**
[7]: https://www.fsf.org/share
We'll share your photos in an online gallery and on March 20th, we'll incorporate them into a demonstration outside the central W3C office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (Yes, this is the second day of the Free Software Foundation's [LibrePlanet][8] conference -- and serendipitously, the conference and W3C office are in the same building!). If you'd like to preserve anonymity, we're happy to blur your face.
[8]: https://www.libreplanet.org/conference
We're also seeking leaders to take it one step further and organize a demonstration at any global W3C office this month. We'll provide support with logistics, resources and promotion. Let us know at if you'd like to work with us!
We have a real chance to win this fight. Many of the W3C's hundreds of member organizations and staff members stand with us in opposition to DRM in HTML. A few giant companies, like Microsoft, Netflix, and Google, are driving the push to add DRM to the HTML standard -- because they are beholden to Hollywood and big media to lock down their video streams. This comes down to a simple question, which has repercussions beyond just DRM: **will we have a Web designed for big media companies and Hollywood -- the Hollyweb -- or a Web that works for the billions of people around the world that rely on it to communicate, connect and organize?**
For more information about DRM in HTML, see the [coalition letter][9] we co-signed with 26 other organizations arguing against the proposal, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's [blog post on the subject][10], and the [full text of the proposal itself][11].
