Blog: About digital and physical restrictions on your own device

Today, May 3rd 2013, is the international day against Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). Usually, the term DRM refers to various restrictions that companies – or any other content provider – impose on digital media and data. These restrictions are there to let providers decide what you can do with your media and data and what not. This blog entry sheds light on a related issue: the loss of digital and physical control of your own device.

International Day Against DRM: fight deliberately crippled technology

This Friday, May 3rd 2013, FSFE is joining the 8th international "Day against DRM" campaign in the call to end Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). The fight against DRM has been gathering momentum in the past weeks. Freedom activists rallied against DRM in HTML5, stressing this technology's harmful effects on innovation and user's freedom. On today's Day Against DRM, our sister organisation the Free Software Foundation will deliver the petition signatures opposing DRM in HTML5 to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)in Boston.

Nu lăsați DRM-ul să ajungă în HTML5 - Semnați petiția!

Această propunere are scopul să încorporeze suportul pentru Digital Restriction Management (prescurtat DRM, rom. gestiunea restricțiilor digitale) în HTML și în consecință, ar exclude navigatoarele libere de la a mai fi compatibile cu multe pagini.
