They say "rights," we say "restrictions" #DRM are not for your digital /rights/, they are /restrictions/ imposed on you. Celebrate your own intellect by staying away from DRM. Learn more about DRM-free living at https://u.fsf.org/44y

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.

Others probably already know this, but if you let your #Audible subscription lapse, you will not get titles back that were previously in the included in Audible Plus subscription thing or whatever if you re-subscribe. Just be sure to download and keep all your titles, even if you purchase with cash/credit because I've had to pay for titles twice even though I paid for titles in the past and the book is still published.

Tools to de-DRM your library.

  1. Open Audible. I don't like this one much but Libation is not actively being developed. https://openaudible.org/

  2. Libation. Not being developed, but still works, as of today. https://github.com/rmcrackan/libation

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: https://u.fsf.org/1aj #EndDRM #DRM

New post: I look at the most ideologically "pure" or least problematic general tech choices---stuff that isn't owned by bigots, not openly bootlicking for Trump, DRM- and AI-free, based on open standards, and isn't cartoonishly greedy. https://www.diversetechgeek.com/least-problematic-tech-options/ #tech #opensource #Linux #CreativeCommons #DRM #selfhosting

Huge hammer blow for the French torrent tracker scene. Waves of arrests have taken place, and historic sites/teams are shutting down quickly. This situation affects both the brains behind the platforms as well as some moderation actors. FW, UNFR, Predb, Nexum, Xander, QTZ, Tenmaland, Supply, and Slay3r have either closed or announced imminent closure. Behind every username are real people whose dedication built communities over years, our thoughts go to administrators as well as affected users, particularly those without means to access culture legally, the most precarious, and everyone fighting against digital locks that deny access to knowledge and works. #torrent #tracker #p2p #piracy #drm #law #justice #arrest #security #french #france #it

Sony poistaa PlayStationin elokuvapalvelusta satoja elokuvia, jotka käyttäjät ovat aikanaan "ostaneet" itselleen Yhtiö ei myöskään maksa mitään korvauksia siitä, että näennäisesti ikuisesti omaksi ostetut elokuvat vain katoavat niistä maksaneilta asiakkailta. https://dawn.fi/uutiset/2026/07/01/sony-poistaa-kayttajilta-satoja-ostettuja-elokuvia-eika-maksa-hyvityksia #sony #drm #elokuvat #playstation #uutiset #teknologia #tekniikka

"Sony is contacting PlayStation Store users who bought movies from the platform that were distributed by StudioCanal—like Terminator 2, Total Recall, and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind—to say that “you will no longer be able to access your previously purchased content from Studio Canal, and it will be removed from your video library.” There’s no mention of any refunds or make-goods for the affected users. Sony simply says the films are going away “due to our content licensing agreements,” once again reaffirming the fact that you are never truly buying anything that’s digital, just temporarily renting it. This news was brought to people’s attention by X user somatyk, who posted the notification they had received from PlayStation this week." https://kotaku.com/playstation-store-movies-digital-studio-canal-terminator-2000711013 #Sony #PlayStation #DRM #StudioCanal #Copyright #IP

This is why @pluralistic@mamot.fr is always preaching about #DRM-free digital media and software. Sony is deleting over 500 movies customers paid for through the PlayStation Store because they don’t want to renew their license with Studio Canal. #enshittification

If Google carries on with its plans to close Android this September, I am probably going to invest in an 8- or 9-inch mini laptop. I figure it will do almost everything I can on my desktop, while still barely fitting in my Wrangler jeans' pockets. (At least Google intends to release millions of effectively sterile male mosquitoes into the wild to cull invasive populations, so there's that.) #Android #Google #DRM #deGoogle #FOSS #freeSoftware #openSource #proprietary

Paniikki peruttu! Sony täsmensi digitaalisesti ostettujen PS5-pelien verkkokäytäntöjä Digitaalisesti ostettu peli pitää "käyttää" verkossa ostotapahtuman jälkeen, kyllä. Mutta vain kerran. https://dawn.fi/uutiset/2026/05/05/playstation-pelit-eivat-tule-vaatimaan-jatkuvaa-verkkoyhteytta #sony #ps5 #drm #uutiset #pelit #pelaaminen #teknologia #tekniikka #playstation5
