In this Internation Day Against DRM #IDAD there are some who are asking to make the DRM problem on the web even worse, adding more restrictions to users, in a way that once again breaks the web by making different browers, OSs, etc have a different behaviour:

Fortunately, there are those who keeps consistently fighting against DRM, in all its fronts.

Today, the FSF is sending a message about DRM on Operating Systems:

And ANSOL is promoting a number of DRM-free sources of culture (music, books, software, etc.): https://viste.pt/videos/watch/31203e97-23fa-43a4-ad3d-1a95a722e406

Earlier this year, Software Freedom Conservancy managed a major win in the US: https://sfconservancy.org/news/2024/oct/31/success-in-2024-dmca-exemptions/

And, as I often do, let me remind you of a good ol' article from FSFE telling you how can you fight against DRM in your country, if you're in Europe: https://fsfe.org/news/2019/news-20191113-01.en.html

How will YOU be celebrating #idad2024 ?

The #Windows10 cliff will send thousands of operable machines straight to the local landfill, potentially setting back #e-waste #sustainability efforts for years. #IDAD is the time for users to switch to #freesoftware and the #GNULinux operating system: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm/

No Dia Internacional contra o DRM, a ANSOL publica um vídeo com sugestões de música, livros, e outros, para escolhermos #SemDRM

"There once was a time when you could donate a book to the library to give others in your community access to it. There once was a time when libraries owned the works that they provide to the public, rather than finding themselves trapped by unethical technology and predatory licensing fees," said Greg Farough, campaigns manager at the FSF.

This year's #IDAD (International Day Against #DRM ) was marked with the news that #Sony - once again - decided to screw their customers over with DRM.

Yes, Sony's rootkit scandal was already 18 years ago, but if some of us still complain about it, it is because the lesson wasn't learned. The proof is that now, 18 years later, Sony keeps shipping products and "selling" them with DRM, for the obvious and inevitable purpose of restricting their users.

This is evil, and inexcusable. As usual, @pluralistic puts it better than I do:

For this year's #idad I created a survey to assess public knowledge and opinion of #DRM. The more informed we are as a whole, the better we can fight it.

The survey is hosted on my own NextCloud server - no ads, no trackers, no AI, no personal information. If you have 7-12 minutes to spare, I would appreciate if you can fill it out. Thank you in advance!
