Just in case building a website didn’t do it for you, we’ve come up with another possible activity for you to participate in this weekend, to protest DRM on the iTunes Music Store.
There will be protests at 10:30 am local time in front of the Apple Stores in San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, Cambridge (MA), Plano (TX), New York and Huntington Station (NY).
If you go, make sure to send us some photos!

How is protesting in front of an Apple store going to do anything?
Apple can't just take them off. Wouldn't they get their arses sued by all the record labels and whatnot? It's probably part of the new contracts right?

The protesters should simply be demanding the closing of the iTunes Music Store. That is, after all, the only way that the iTunes Music Store will [b]not[/b] have DRM.

I think putting it all on Apple is silly. Go after the record companies...the cowards that are making Apple seem like the bad guys!
