  3. DRM ruins efforts at historical preservation. If all of our media is locked up in digital streaming platforms -- which will go under eventually -- how will it be preserved for future generations? Live DRM-free instead: u.fsf.org/1aj #EndDRM #DRM

  5. "[T]he developers of CrossPoint Reader, a free alternative firmware for the X3, X4, and X4 Pro, are introducing support for third-party plug-ins that will expand the e-readers’ capabilities. One of the first from the community will give the devices access to DRM-protected ebooks borrowed through OverDrive’s Libby library app, or purchased through bookstores like Kobo’s."

  9. Just a remainder: all EPUB books that you buy on my homepage are DRM-free! No guarantee that resellers will not somehow add their own DRM, though. My books are not available on Amazon, because they are known to add DRM.

  13. "But think about the artists!" is a favorite refrain of so-called "intellectual property" enthusiasts (aka corporations.) Hear from one #DefectiveByDesign (DBD) guest writer and musician about how #DRM totally cramped his style: u.fsf.org/1rx #EndDRM #Music

  17. Ownership and physical media is a real conundrum. Even if physical would grant an irrevocable license to the whole experience, would never rot/corrupt, we still face the issue of compatible playing devices not working anymore, which would render every collection obsolete. There is only one real solution, #DRM free digital. #gaming

  19. This may rattle some people but I'm going to say it anyway (it needs saying so I'm volunteering). Every generation has its challenges but the younger generation (particularly the under 20s) are going to be sitting ducks if they don't understand the dangers of proprietary software and DRM (digital restrictions management as many call it). Ignorance is bliss until tech companies and governments start oppressing us with software (oh wait, that's already happening...) #technology #drm #tech #fsf

  21. If a piece of software or service starts to impose restrictions on you, stop using it. If you comply with those restrictions, they will just add more restrictions. #drm #digitalrestrictionsmanagement #ageverification

  27. I've heard on other social media that AppleTV is also starting to delete movies that people bought?

    On Google Play this already happened as well.

  29. A while ago I rescued all my ebooks from amazon and converted all of them to epubs. Except one. So today I spent an hour trying to pry it from the cold evil hands of the Bezos and finally succeeded. Fuck you big tech, and the horse you rode in on.

    Oh this was the book; I highly recommend it.

  35. Here's another case for @pluralistic et al when opposing #DRM #anticircumvention while addressing #nationalSecurity hawks or #defence personnel.

    And a reminder to everyone else: there's never a good reason for a device to require a network connection to its manufacturer, nor for a device which could operate offline, LAN-only, or site-to-site to connect to its manufacturer by default.

  37. @brainblasted oh, did i ever mention #adobe seems to have deleted all my books during the Adobe ID to Bytebooks move? it just pretended my old account was gone.

    helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/e

    I got them back by going to every book shop and listing every single book I ever bought to the shop, and having them reset the licenses.

    What would I have done if a bookshop had gone out of business since then?

    ...probably would have just lost them. DRM sucks.

  47. Als alter Konsumverweigerer bei allem, was mit #DRM zu tun hat, lebt man kulturell (Musik, Filme, Spiele) ja entweder meist in der Vergangenheit oder sucht sich "alternative DRM-freie Quellen".

    Doof wird das allerdings tatsächlich, wenn eine Band, die man wirklich gut findet, ein neues Album ankündigt, man keinen CD-Player mehr hat und nicht gewillt ist, DRM-der-Anbieter-bestimmt-wie-ich-Gekauftes-nutzen-darf-Geschäftsmodelle mit Geld zu überhäufen.

    In drei Wochen will "The Warning" ein neues Album rausbringen. Eigentlich würde ich das Kaufen. Aber mein Kaufanspruch ist auch, dass es danach *meins* ist und nicht eine "bezahlte Dauerleihgabe mit möglicher Spontanwegnahme".

    🙄 Mal gucken, ob ich eine akzeptable legale Quelle finde.

    Ggf. § 53 UrhG? Ist dann halt nur doof für die Band.
