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

#DRM isn't just an annoyance -- it's a violation of your right to use the items you own as you see fit. Learn more about our Defective by Design campaign at http://defectivebydesign.org, and follow our campaign account at @endDRM
"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: https://u.fsf.org/1rx #EndDRM #Music
GenZ might make fun of us and call us boomers for wanting to own our data but you can't seriously tell me this kind of #DRM shit is enjoyed by many, even if you are a techy like me. https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68415/~/nintendo-switch%26nbsp%3B2-game-key-card-overview
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

Our method of "fighting" against ebook environment enshittification is to give away books rather than use grifty platforms. Never will you find #SROP books available from a monopolistic business. (You can buy #SROP books if you want, but we don't force you to spend money to read. Free books to good homes.)

'Zon controls the bookstore, the publishing platform, the software, and the devices for nearly ALL ebook sales worldwide. And their "exclusive" option locks the authors in. Tell me this isn't a monopoly? I don't belive you.

That probably doesn't matter much globally. I'm only one reader. But these authors have entirely lost my readership and probably an aggregate $100/year in revenue from me. Indie authors: please publish widely, not just for Kindle.

Within the last few weeks, at least three authors whose work I normally buy immediately upon release have decided they'll stick with Amazon only, foregoing other retail outlets. Since I won't use Kindle (or associated Windows app) for reading, I'll no longer be buying any of their work.
