DRM Is Theft: New Yorkers for Fair Use Go to Washington (Linux Journal)

Linux Joural has an article by Ruben I Safir, President of New York Linux Scene, as he and others took political action at the Department of Commerce, which was holding its second Digital Rights Management (DRM) Workshop. "Once the decision was made to go ahead with the plan, several goals were agreed upon by the NY for Fair Use management, including Seth, cofounder Brett Wynkoop, Jay Sulzberger, our general public relations manager, and myself. NYLXS also geared into action by providing network services and funding for the trip. NYLXS members, as usual, sprang into action in support of the NY Fair Use activity. In particular, Micheal Richardson, the NYLXS Membership Chairman and Journal Editor, designed buttons and helped drive everyone down to Washington. Kevin Mark contributed to the PR material, Vinnie alerted as much of the press as possible and Joe Maffia offered technical support. Even with large numbers of NYLXS on vacation, the organization worked admirably according to its charter, to support and educate the public about issues that affect Free Software in business, education and the home."
