@pluralistic This is a great idea!!!!! And something that people on the ground should most certainly consider to organize around, an opportunity to undo the DMCA is certainly worth pushing #copyright #DMCA #DMCA1201

Corporate lobbyists claim third-party repairs are dangerous. But when you dig into their "evidence"?

- 40 deaths over 25 years (only 1 patient death linked to repair).
- 38,500 "exposed to harm"? That number was made up by lobbyists—not the FDA.
- The FDA actually says third-party repairs are critical to healthcare.

They’re lying to keep you dependent. And it’s working.

💡Tip: If you post #CreativeCommons content on #youtube and want to encourage the redistribution of the content, please provide an alternate download address. The current process of downloading media from youtube involves either A) paying for youtube premium, in order to enable the "Download" button or B) using "yt_dlp" or similar tools, which some argue involves breaking the Section 1201 of the DMCA (*). Youtube adds new barriers for users to access its content (such as ID checks or Adblocker-blockers) and will keep adding them as long as users have no viable alternatives.

*: it already happened before, in 2020, when the tool was attacked with a takedown request ( https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/github-reinstates-youtube-dl-after-riaas-abuse-dmca , https://github.blog/news-insights/policy-news-and-insights/standing-up-for-developers-youtube-dl-is-back/ ). At the time, the claim that reverted the takedown was that Youtube didn't implement an effective "technical protection measure", so youtube-dl couldn't be accused of "circumventing a technical protection measure" in the sense indicated by the Section 1201, but the technical details are not guaranteed to remain the same in the future.
