The Digital Freedom campaign, led by the Consumer Electronics Association, New America Foundation, Public Knowledge and others, is looking to spread its message of protecting consumer rights in the digital age by holding a pre-Independence Day celebration on Thursday night.
The invitation-only event will include music from live bands and is expected to be well attended by policymakers, media and industry representatives. The campaign also announced Thursday that it will offer its first digital rights management-free download on DigitalFreedom.org. The group, which has been routinely criticized by content creators, recently expanded its online presence.
The following bands will be performing at the Digital Freedom showcase: Jonathan Coulton, Baumer and Exit Clov. The question remains: Were the invitations to the Motion Picture Association of America and Recording Industry Association of America lost in the mail?
