Unlock your handcuffs:

There are plenty of devices and media that preserve our freedom. You can choose to live without #DRM.

We can buy media that we can use forever, in any format of our choice. With a little research, we can choose devices that do not lock us in.

Use the #DayAgainstDRM to inform yourself about the dangers of #DRM, how you can break free or tell others why and how you resist DRM!

Find activities, networks and campaigns that you can engage in or support against DRM:

#DRM also endangers our privacy. Remember how in 2005 it was found out that the #Sony #rootkit was spying on users and was loaded onto roughly 25 million CDs and infected more than 550,000 networks in more than one hundred countries:

Digital restrictions imposed by DRM endanger our citizen rights and open up a legal minefield for copyright reforms and exceptions to it. They hinder access to our digital heritage and knowledge, block citation and creativity.

#DefectiveByDesign

Digital Restrictions Management (#DRM) is any technology that is built into an electronic product or service with the aim of limiting its range of uses.

Today is international #DayAgainstDRM: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm

Use the day and read on to inform yourself & others about DRM!
