Début du message transféré : > Expéditeur: "Molly de Blanc, DBD" <[email protected]> > Date: 20 décembre 2018 à 03:36:31 UTC+1 > Destinataire: Michaël Parrchet <[email protected]> > Objet: Forging a DRM-free future with DbD > Répondre à: "Molly de Blanc, DBD" <[email protected]> > > > > Read and share online: > https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/forging_drmfree_future_dbd > > Dear Michaël Parrchet, > > The Defective by Design (DbD) campaign is a project of the Free Software > Foundation (FSF). In an effort to expand our work towards a world without > Digital Restrictions Management (DRM), we are asking you to donate $10 or > become a member of the FSF as part of its yearly fundraising drive. > > The state of Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is as bad as ever -- > restricting your rights every day, whether you realize it or not. > Intentionally or unintentionally, you are caught by these digital handcuffs. > Looking back on 2018, we see new themes around DRM, largely concerning > access: Apple created a new chip to limit repairs of Apple products; Amazon > released their SPEKE API making it even easier to include DRM on Amazon Web > Services servers; and we saw a year with Encrypted Media Extensions on the > Web. These are just a few of the new ways DRM infiltrated our lives in 2018. > > In addition to these examples of DRM technology, we've also had to deal with > DRM in the policymaking world. I'd like to spend a little time highlighting > net neutrality in the United States, a battle still raging in the US House of > Representatives, and Article 13 of the European Copyright Directive. Both of > these are issues being tackled by DbD's home organization, the Free Software > Foundation, and they're just as important to the fight against DRM as they > are to other digital rights. > > By gutting net neutrality provisions in the United States, problematic > corporate interests are being given even more control over the Web and what > we get to do there. This supports DRM, as the Internet Service Providers and > companies pushing against net neutrality are the same ones that support DRM > on the Web and in your homes. By ceding greater control to them, the > government is making it harder to avoid DRM. This matters outside the US as > well, as giving companies greater control in one country sets a precedent for > them gaining those same legal supports for control in other countries. > > Article 13 of the Copyright Directive also limits access to materials on the > Web, but in a different way. It is known for its requirement of "upload > filtering" and removal of referenced, copied, reused, and remixed materials > from the Web. This form of control is yet another shape DRM can take -- it > might not be what we traditionally think of when we consider the technology > used to lock down individual files, but it is mandating software to control > your access to information and limit your ability to exercise your rights. > > These battles are ongoing, but we will continue to be at the front lines with > you. > > Thankfully, we have good news as well. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act > (DMCA) is broken, and the anti-circumvention rules need to be abolished. > We'll keep working towards that, but in the meantime we participate in the > triennial process to carve out specific exemptions to those rules. With your > help, we supported every single new or expanded request in the 2018 process, > with nine classes gaining some sort of new or expanded exemption. We had a > very successful International Day Against DRM (IDAD), during which seventeen > stellar organizations around the world created, took action, and wrote in > support of a world without DRM. We've also been doing our share to raise > awareness around issues with DRM, publishing on topics including the Apple > App Store. > > What does all this mean? We've spent another year fighting against DRM, and > there's still a lot more for us to do. As we look ahead to 2019, we see new > battles we're going to fight, new angles supporters of DRM are going to take, > and increased risk for the proliferation of DRM. > > DRM is different than how it used to be. In the early days, media you > "purchased" would be given to you on loan, with access being controlled by a > third party (usually the company from which you purchased the media). These > days, DRM takes a different shape: streaming services, and fighting DRM in > streaming requires new ways to communicate, new ideas, and new tactics. We'll > be focusing on these in 2019, and need your support. > > Activists, volunteers, and donors are the force behind everything we do. You > bring the message of a world without DRM to companies, organizations, and > individuals around the world. You help us update the Guide to DRM-free > Living. Keep doing what you're doing: follow our work and tell others why you > share the vision of this world without DRM. The most important way to help > right now is financially, by becoming an Associate Member or making a > donation, so we can plan a solid strategy for 2019. > > Thank you for everything you do in the fight against DRM and your support of > DbD. > > Cheers, > Molly de Blanc > Campaigns Manager > > Follow us on GNU social | Follow us on Twitter | Read about why we use > Twitter, but only with caveats > Subscribe to our blog via RSS > Donate to support the campaign > Defective by Design is a campaign of the Free Software Foundation: > 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor > Boston, Massachusetts 02110-1335 > United States > Read the Free Software Foundation Privacy Policy > You can unsubscribe from this mailing list by visiting the link > https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/mailing/unsubscribe?reset=1&jid=157953&qid=39623542&h=8e39f7f5e2d1b5f1 > To stop all email from the Free Software Foundation, including Defective by > Design, > and the Free Software Supporter newsletter, click this link: > https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/mailing/optout?reset=1&jid=157953&qid=39623542&h=8e39f7f5e2d1b5f1
