Our community planning meeting for this year's International Day Against DRM (IDAD) starts in just under an hour at 14:00 EST in Libera.chat's #dbd channel. If you can't make it, we'll see you on Dec. 10 for the #dayagainstdrm!

Section 1201 of the DMCA is a nightmare, but the work of activists helped secure a round of new anticircumvention exemptions: https://u.fsf.org/3go

Unlike those on Halloween, the DMCA is a monster that won't be going away in the morning. That's why Defective by Design works year-round to #endDRM.

The latest round of DMCA anticircumvention exemptions are out. We're happy to have played a part in rallying the community together to support each and every exemption!

If you care about building a music library you can listen to for years to come, don't use Spotify, and buck against the trend of exploitative streaming services. #endDRM https://u.fsf.org/3f9

Don't forget that not only are corporate sales *not* newsworthy, but among the many other reasons to hate them, Amazon is one of the worst peddlers of #DRM. Even on #PrimeDay.

If you're tuning in to ÖzgürKon, the international online free software conference this weekend, don't miss FSF campaigns manager Greg Farough, talking about the fight against #DRM, on Sunday at 10:00 EDT: https://u.fsf.org/3eb

We're told today marks the 11th anniversary of the @apple #iPad. By complete coincidence, we're close to celebrating our 11th anniversary of never having owned an iPad. https://fsf.org/campaigns/apple

Being cooped up inside has a lot of us "binging" movies and music loaded with #DRM. Try these great options that respect your freedom instead -- and tell your friends that you don't need to compromise when it comes to entertainment! https://u.fsf.org/316
