p2p news / p2pnet: Today’s the day.

For what?

To let some of the Big Four Organized Music-owned ‘trade’ organization bosses know exactly what you think about DRM and/or their efforts to sue you into buying their formulaic, over-priced ‘product’.

It’s a Defective by Design campaign and, "We’re asking you to proclaim your support for digital freedoms by calling the RIAA and telling them what you think of DRM and what you think of them!"

Sign up here, and meanwhile:

• Brad Buckles RIAA USA (202) 857-9607
• Mitch Bainwol RIAA USA (202) 857-9651
• Cary Sherman RIAA USA (202) 857-9632
• Mitch Glazier (202) 857-9673 USA RIAA
• Neil Turkowitz RIAA USA (202) 857-9647

• Graham Henderson CRIA Canada 1 (416) 967-7272 ext. 102

When you’ve told them what you think, let Defective by Design know the results.

Here’s one such for Henderson:

Called in, got Graham’s VM. Left a message explaining that I was calling as part of this campaign and that I constituted his target market… young with plenty of disposable income. Explained that if he wants me as a customer then all he has to do is release for sale high quality, no DRM recordings.

And for Sherman:

Cary’s secretary seems to be getting rather upset with the phone calls. She answered politely enough. But when I mentioned that I am calling to say that I feel that DRM is unacceptable and won’t buy music with DRM, she cut me off with an "OK, thank you very much." And then promptly hung up. Oh well.

And here’s another:

I’ve called several of the numbers, been disconnected, talked to secretarys who have routed me to voicemail, but LIED about the extension to use, etc.

Here’s how to get through: call (202) 857-9600, which puts you at the root of their voicemail system. Then enter the last four digits of the person’s number to get to their REAL voicemail. Leave your message there.
i.e.:
Cary Sherman: dial (202) 857-9600 and 9632 to get his direct voicemail.

Be professional.

Stay tuned ; )
