Anti-DRM T-Shirt Designs: Vote Now
We don’t like DRM, and we’re not the only one. Unfortunately, the majority of the movie companies and record labels still think it’s the best way to “protect” their music. Let us show them it’s not, it only hinders honest customers.
Here are the entries we received for the Anti-DRM T-Shirt Design Contest we organized together with Beautiful Crime. You can vote for your favorite design at the bottom of this page. The winners of the design contest will be announced this weekend.
After the voting round the winning designs will be optimized for printing and will be sold for approximately $15, more details on this later. If you can’t wait, feel free to copy these images, and print your own T-shirt!
We don’t plan to make any profit, but if we do we will donate the money to charity.

38, pretty fashion!
There you have.
Very good idea, i would buy a t-shirt like one of those.
Great desings
Like the Dove idea, design could be better.
Whichever one wins hopefully there will be a black option. Black is slimming ;)
I hope you guys like my entries :) (They are #13 & #14). Really amazing entries though, I doubt I have a chance, hehe :D
Why can we vote only once, I have 3 favorites. everyone of them is ok…
Hey I have a couple votes! Chuck Norris #29. Number 19 has a very nice simple logo look to it.
The images aren’t loading :(
I like 19, but would be better if the front of the shirt was blank and the logo was on the back, imho.
These are all fucking hideous…
DRM + music note = cripple? I find that kind of offensive. It’s like milk + chocolate = black person. Makes no sense.
Images aren’t loading…
i would buy #19 right now.
wait what are the numbers? i read the wiki and i didn’t see anything about it
lot of nice ideas, not that many great designs…
10: why on earth is the word (mentally inserted) “cripple” offensive? PC alert! Adding syllables to the term describing a concept doesn’t make it different. Screaming “cripples suck!” is offensive. Describing someone as crippled is descriptive. Not that being offensive is somehow prohibited by law. Freedom of speech is of course coupled to the freedom to interpret offense, but you’ve no inherent freedom from feeling offense. To demand such a power is to be a tyrant, and is inherently hostile to freedom of speech. And a poor variety of tyrant, because it’s possible to find someone who’s offended by anything you can name. It comes down to who has the biggest megaphone or access to power to shut people up.
How about:
DRM: no one admitted without signing a draconian document expressing our views. Your not allowed to tell anyone what you saw unless it helps his glorious work!

try google
What a shame geeks still can’t get past homophobia (#34 “Back”) - because male-male sex is the scariest thing in the world.
#26 Dove might be pushing it. but the rest are pretty damn impressive.
#6 Error would be my first choice, #38 DRM-MPAA is a close second. They’re both awesome.
#7 Protection doesn’t make sense. By saying “your music needs it”, it seems to be in favour of DRM, but I doubt that’s the intention.
I like this kind of contest. It’s allows a lot of creativity to express. For sure some are really better, by the design, by the ideas than other. But it brings something really refreshing after a necessary but sometimes boring forum reading.
And talking about offensive idea if the 44 deserve discussion the 34 is defenitively offending. Not by the mention of sodomy, there is nothing to ne affraid of. Of course you think everybody can understand the message because the mention of that sexual pratice is associated in many languages to swindle, it’s a hugely spread language abuse but it’s still just an abuse. And by using such a trivial image you reinforce this link supposing it’s a kind of universal truth. But in the end, and nobody can’t ignore it, it’s just an insult, mostly homophobic but not only (Let’s talk clearly : sodomy is certainly not only used by gays ). Plus there is absolutly no second degree in that work ( the “ipod ad” treatment does not add any, and the need to mention who is the “bad” and who is the “good” is a proof that the idea is poor ). Yes, a lot of people will understand what is meant, you can say that to be understood is the most important thing. And my remark as nothing to do with morality but with modernity : how can you hope to express some ideas and get some attention on the very complex problem of DRMs and their uses by using such a little minded, passeist and insulting reference? Said by someone in the street it’s an insult, on a teeshirt it’s a major sign of sillyness.
I hope the author does not measure the totally injurign part of his work but that the others do.
These are laughable. They remind me of CNN’s Twin Towers redesign contest. A bunch of retarded apes could do better. I hate DRM but having viewed these designs I’m starting to think it’s a good idea to let the creatives put a lock on their work. They deserve it. Imagine having to watch movies made by the designers of these shirts? lol
