When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM

I can't remember if I posted about this already or not...
One of my New Year's resolutions was to stop buying books from #Amazon. I read about 85 books per year; I LOVE to read. But I don't want to give my money to Amazon.
I've been using BookShop.org, which provides both physical and #DRM free e-books, AND allows me to designate 30% of the book's list price to my favorite local book store!

If you buy from Audible, make sure you download and get rid of the Audible DRM on your purchased audio files. A strange bug has been happening to me. I purchased audiobooks with cash, and these are favorite authors, so I knew I wanted to buy them. I never returned them. But today, Audible is acting as if I never bought them. I can't play them in my library but I can buy them again. #Audible #DRM #Audiobook #Audiobooks

In this update, I explain why I serialize my audiobooks on my podcast, because DRM sucks, and give you all a choice on getting podcast updates via email. https://buttondown.com/weirdwriter/archive/podcast-updates/ #DRM #Audible #Audiobook #Audiobooks

When I see this, I'm reminded how #Mozilla simply sold us out.

Olympic curling is the only sporting event I've ever watched. My spouse is asleep in the room w/ the TV where she has Peacock set up, so I logged into the account on my laptop to see if it'd work.
#Firefox *enthusiastically* encourages me to install #DRM. Does this actually fit Mozilla Foundation's stated mission to the IRS? https://www-archive.mozilla.org/foundation/documents/mf-irs-501c3-application-attachment.pdf
But, we made Mitchell Baker a multi-millionaire, so…we won?

"for DMCA 1201 to kick in, the " #accessControl" must be "effective." What's "effective?"
An effective access control is one, that cannot be circumvented. If it can be circumvented, it was not effective in the first place. QED.
