Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is a technology that affects all users of computers, media players, mobile phones and other devices.
"'Your devices don't trust you!' is the basic message of DRM. In fact they trust you so little that they will not even tell you that they put you under surveillance," says Joachim Jakobs, FSFE's media coordinator. [1]http://mail.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/press-release/2006q4/000157.html
"If consumers even know there's a DRM, what it is, and how it works, we've already failed," says Peter Lee, an executive at Disney. [2]http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=4342418
"DRM technologies are based on the principle that a third party has more influence over your devices than you, and that their interests will override yours when they come in conflict. That is even true where your interest is perfectly legitimate and legal, and possibly also for your own data," explains Georg Greve, FSFE's president.

We have to make people aware of governments intentions. The time for comments to the proposed law is already over and alternate law forum has submitted objections to the law. Lets hope it will be considered. Otherwise we will have to mobilise popular support to get it revoked.
