In 2019, I wrote a superhero-like novel centering on a heist to break refugees out of a labor camp. #FreeCulture #CCBYSA #NoDRM all the good stuff.
I revised the text, so quick experiment, I put it up on Stripe for people who want to read before I release it generally in a few months https://buy.stripe.com/aFa4gzaPY9tx9KG17ubAs02
I have more planned, but their speed depends on how the experiment goes. 🤷
#Bookstodon might dig this, too...

The @FCC is considering rules that could put a price tag on a public resource. DRM on free TV is a gut punch to the most vulnerable.
Don't let corporations put a gate on the airwaves. #SaveFreeTV #FCC #NoDRM #news
Another advantage of DRM free ebooks is you can change the css if something doesn’t work with e.g. dark mode.
This is about a platform mandating DRM, to control/manipulate revenue streams.
I think Google (and Apple) are fully capable to manage platform security without gatekeeping access to our devices. They could improve OS immutability, or better admin rights without root privileges.
As irritating as they can be, even the banks have developed secure financial platforms that still allow us to purchase WHAT we want, from WHO we want.
for everybody else: Benn Jordan records as The Flashbulb and does great half-hour videos on ~sound engineering. He’s also a #fuckai and #nodrm advocate and the „I saved a png to a bird” person (he played a bird spectrogram to a starling).
JFC, Waaah waaah waaah!
Yes, I want to shop bookshop.org to support Sapphic #indie authors, but my favorites seem to all be 'Zon exclusive. Aaargh!
Tell me, oh great and powerful Fediverse, where are the indie Sapphic romance authors who are NOT on Amazon, and hopefully non-DRM?
Have cash, will read. Wire @smashedratonpress Santa Banana.
Je vous propose de continuer, si vous connaissez des liens pour télécharger des films, ebooks et autres sans DRM, dans le fil de cette conversation.
(Je vous avoue que je suis pas loin de penser que le téléchargement pirate sauve la culture, mais bon, si on peut payer les artistes équitablement ET obtenir réellement les fichiers qui nous intéressent, ma foi...)
