4th May will be international Day Against DRM. So, what will you be doing for it? (I'll be studying for my exams as I have a life, but I expect you GoG nerds will have nothing better to do :P)
PS. sorry, should have said this is an annual campaign organised by the Free Software Foundation.

I may buy a DRM-free game... I can at least say that I'll refrain from buying DRM'd games that day.
Other than that... I'll be at work.

I will have this day full unfortunately. Want to go to the Office of Fair trady on THAT day, but... I have an job interview and I can't say NO to it. And my dentist called and this was the only free time of the whole 2 weeks.
Who is organizing this?
And what counts as "DRM" for the purpose of this day? Because, depending upon how strict you make your definition, GoG and/or games with CD-checks count as DRM :p

everything not oss is DRM for FSF. At least, so it sounds to me :)
I'm against DRM every day, so I'd rather share news about DRM with others. Maybe I'll collect my thoughts, post a blog, and post it on Reddit.
OH WAIT
The 4th? I'm going to be VERY busy. :3
Hmm, today was the International Workers Day, and now May 4th is the International Day Against DRM? This proves only one thing:

The stuff you buy here isn't open source and you're not allowed to distribute or reverse-engineer it.
Edit: I'm not suggesting that's a bad thing, mind.

That doesn't even come close to fitting the loosest possible definition of DRM and anyone who actually thinks that is an loon that does more to hurt the anti-DRM movement than help it. Kind of like the way Richard Stallman is a loon that tends to say and do things that end up hindering the FOSS movement he cares so much about.

Sounds like a plan. I think I'll purchase Eschalon Book I in honor of the day.
