<div class="article"><p>Dear Steve Jobs,</p>
<p>We would like to thank you for your public statements about Digital Restrictions Management (DRM), and your pledge to drop DRM from iTunes if the four major record labels---EMI, Warner, Universal and Sony---let you.</p>

The only thing you do by this is asking to receive spam, for both you and the receiver.

It _is_ a fairly trusted site (run by the FSF, as opposed to strangers), but nevertheless, I don't know if I agree with sending this to the mailing list, kind of spam-like. I did sign the letter though, I confess. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list Open-graphics@duskglow.com http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
You can sign the letter with your own name all you like. Also, OGP in general stands against DRM, but we always need to be careful about how we represent ourselves. Also, if you join this mailing list yourself, and there is an especially interesting post you get, use your judgement, but you can forward the relevant portions to the list. It's about the same as mentioning a slashdot URL and maybe quoting a really interesting line. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Favorite book: The Design of Everyday Things, Donald A.

Oh, I wasn't worried about signing the letter in relation to or affiliation with OGP, more that I don't have a good position to argue in this thread against sending that sort of message to the list, if my own actions help rationalize sending it. My opinion, I think, is that it's OK to forward relevant pages to a mailing list, but it's much better to compose your own message than to use the website to forward the page. It helps tailor your message to the audience instead of using the website's generic message, and makes it seem like less of an unwelcome advertisement. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list Open-graphics@duskglow.com http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
