For the event it would be great if people read up on DRM so they can
explain it to people. A good start is:

* What is DRM? Digital Restrictions Management
<http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm>

* Stand up for your freedom to install free software
<http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/statement>

* The Right to Read <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html>
