Ich glaube, ich muss mal wieder über DRM ranten.
Kann es sein, dass eine jüngere Generation Autoren sich noch nie wirklich mit den negativen Auswirkungen von DRM beschäftigt hat und den Behauptungen von Veröffentlichungsplattformen einfach unbesehen Glauben schenkt?
Unwissend der Tatsache, dass diese ebensowenig das Beste der Autoren oder Creators im Sinne haben, wie das Beste der Konsumenten?

„Der nächste große Schritt“: GOG Galaxy soll offenbar auf Linux portiert werden
Bislang läuft die DRM-freie Spieleplattform GOG nur auf Windows und macOS. Für eine Linux-Version sucht die Firma nun nach einem neuen Entwickler.

Sosehr ich meine #Bibliothek auch liebe, die haben leider nur die echt grottige Übersetzung von Das Rad der Zeit.
Darum hab ich jetzt den Schritt getan und den Vorteil von ebooks genutzt, der auch so ein gigantisches Werk in eine handliche Größe bringt (zumindest gewichtsmäßig)
Das schwierigste dabei war eine wirklich DRM-freie Version vom TOR zu bekommen:

I'm trying to play through the implications of some software I've been thinking about maybe designing.
It's legal to make a digital copy of the media that you own (videos, audio) physical copies of. It's legal to give a physical copy of your media to someone else or loan it out, which transfers your viewing license while they have It. Then it should also be legal to let someone else use a digital copy of your media given that you don't also use it at the same time. So as long as you keep track of your license, you should be able to let exactly one person stream some media you own.
If someone else then "steals" that content and views it without a license then that has to be legally on them, otherwise streaming platforms would be liable whenever someone cracks some DRM.
So then, it should be completely legal to set up a local community media library streaming service where you can share content you own licenses to as long as you track your license count and don't let more people stream at any given time than there are licenses available.
Is there something obvious I'm missing (aside from the MPAA and RIAA don't care about the law and will just sue anyone they can just to make an example)?

Starting January 20, 2026, you'll be able to download any books that you've purchased from the Amazon Kindle store, where the author or publisher declines to use DRM, in ePub or Kindle format. Which means you'll finally OWN that ebook.

Great, my bank decided that it would release a new version of their app that isn't compatible with my phone...
Reason: They require "Google Play Integrity API" to pass before installing...
For those unfamiliar with it: the Integrity API is just a type of DRM to discourage people from using custom ROMs.
It is often cited to be "because of security" but when a phone that hasn't had any updates for 3 years passes it with flying colours, it's highl…

Oh so many a happy hour of kicking Nazi ass on Game Pass back in the olden days. And now I literally own it DRM free on GOG, bringing my trilogy collection to completion 🌈 ❤️ ⚔️
(It's actually a good first-person shooter. Very similar quality, if not better, to Doom 2016.)
