Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Sample 09-F9 protest art, Free Speech Flag by John Marcotte.svg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 6, 2018. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-07-06. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:40, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

The article says:
> Marcotte was motivated to create the flag after the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator (AACS LA) began issuing cease and desist letters to websites publishing the key 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 (commonly referred to as 09-F9).
But I see no source for this.
How do we know this specifically were his motivations?
In fact, do we know that the "nation" Marcotte refers to is the United States? Mago Mercurio (talk) 01:44, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
