new project: DRM clearinghouse

I’m sure some clever people are on this already, but mention it here to vote for it.

Mossberg Takes on DRM, Urges CD-DRM Boycott:

To make it happen, people need to learn which CDs use DRM and which don’t. One way to tell on CDs is to look for the official CD logo on the package. If the CD logo is missing, the disc probably doesn’t comply with the CD standard, and the noncompliance is probably caused by DRM. Alternatively, somebody could set up a website with information about which discs used DRM. It would be nice, too, to have a site with information about DVDs, to keep track, for instance, of which discs force viewers to watch movie previews before seeing the movie they bought.

It can’t be too hard to set up such a site. If you put ads on it, you could probably make a profit. Who wants to build it?

Yes, I bet this would make a few bucks: seems like an obvious fundraider for EFF, either directly or on their behalf.
