<p> </p>
<p>Dear Michaël Parrchet,</p>
<p><strong>The <a href="https://defectivebydesign.org">Defective by Design (DbD)</a> campaign is a project of the
<a href="https://fsf.org">Free Software Foundation (FSF)</a>. In an effort to expand our work
towards a world without Digital Restrictions Management (DRM), we
are asking you to <a href="https://my.fsf.org/donate?pk_campaign=fall18&pk_kwd=dbddonate">donate $10</a> or <a href="https://my.fsf.org/join?pk_campaign=fall18&pk_kwd=dbdjoin">become a member</a> of the FSF
as part of its <a href="https://www.fsf.org/appeal?pk_campaign=fall18&pk_kwd=dbdappeal">yearly fundraising drive</a>.</strong></p>
<p>The state of Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is as bad as ever
-- restricting your rights every day, whether you realize it or
not. Intentionally or unintentionally, you are caught by these digital
handcuffs. Looking back on 2018, we see new themes around DRM, largely
concerning access: Apple created a new chip to <a href="https://tidbits.com/2018/11/19/apple-confirms-that-the-t2-chip-limits-mac-repairs/">limit repairs of Apple
products</a>; <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/speke/latest/documentation/what-is-speke.html">Amazon released their SPEKE API</a> making it even
easier to include DRM on Amazon Web Services servers; and we saw <a href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/w3c_sells_out_web_eme_1_year_later">a
year with Encrypted Media Extensions on the Web</a>. These are just a
few of the new ways DRM infiltrated our lives in 2018.</p>
<p>In addition to these examples of DRM technology, we've also had to
deal with DRM in the policymaking world. I'd like to spend a little
time highlighting net neutrality in the United States, a battle still
raging in the US House of Representatives, and Article 13 of the
European Copyright Directive. Both of these are issues being tackled
by DbD's home organization, the <a href="https://fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</a>, and
they're just as important to the fight against DRM as they are to
other digital rights.</p>
<p>By gutting net neutrality provisions in the United States, problematic
corporate interests are being given even more control over the Web and
what we get to do there. This supports DRM, as the Internet Service
Providers and companies pushing against net neutrality are the same
ones that support DRM on the Web and in your homes. By ceding greater
control to them, the government is making it harder to avoid DRM. This
matters outside the US as well, as giving companies greater control in
one country sets a precedent for them gaining those same legal
supports for control in other countries.</p>
<p>Article 13 of the Copyright Directive also limits access to materials
on the Web, but in a different way. It is known for its requirement of
"upload filtering" and removal of referenced, copied, reused, and
remixed materials from the Web. This form of control is yet another
shape DRM can take -- it might not be what we traditionally think of
when we consider the technology used to lock down individual files,
but it is mandating software to control your access to information and
limit your ability to exercise your rights.</p>
<p>These battles are ongoing, but we will continue to be at the front
lines with you.</p>
<p>Thankfully, we have good news as well. The Digital Millennium
Copyright Act (DMCA) is broken, and the anti-circumvention rules need
to be abolished. We'll keep working towards that, but in the meantime
we participate in the triennial process to carve out specific
exemptions to those rules. With your help, we supported every single
new or expanded request in the <a href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/2018_dmca_anticircumvention_exemption_process_some_progress_not_enough">2018 process</a>, with nine classes
gaining some sort of new or expanded exemption. We had a very
successful <a href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm/2018">International Day Against DRM</a> (IDAD), during which
seventeen stellar organizations around the world created, took action,
and wrote in support of a world without DRM. We've also been doing our
share to raise awareness around issues with DRM, publishing on topics
including the <a href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/apple_app_store_anniversary_marks_ten_years_proprietary_appsploitation">Apple App Store</a>.</p>
<p>What does all this mean? We've spent another year fighting against
DRM, and there's still a lot more for us to do. As we look ahead to
2019, we see new battles we're going to fight, new angles supporters
of DRM are going to take, and increased risk for the proliferation of
DRM.</p>
<p>DRM is different than how it used to be. In the early days, media you
"purchased" would be given to you on loan, with access being
controlled by a third party (usually the company from which you
purchased the media). These days, DRM takes a different shape:
streaming services, and fighting DRM in streaming requires new ways to
communicate, new ideas, and new tactics. We'll be focusing on these in
2019, and need your support.</p>
<p>Activists, volunteers, and donors are the force behind everything we
do. You bring the message of a world without DRM to companies,
organizations, and individuals around the world. You help us update
the <a href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide">Guide to DRM-free Living</a>. Keep doing what you're doing:
follow our work and tell others why you share the vision of this world
without DRM. The most important way to help right now <a href="https://www.fsf.org/appeal?pk_campaign=fall18&pk_kwd=dbdappeal">is
financially</a>, by <a href="https://my.fsf.org/join?pk_campaign=fall18&pk_kwd=dbdjoin">becoming an Associate Member</a> or <a href="https://my.fsf.org/donate?pk_campaign=fall18&pk_kwd=dbddonate">making a
donation</a>, so we can plan a solid strategy for 2019.</p>
<p>Thank you for everything you do in the fight against DRM and your
support of DbD.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>
Molly de Blanc<br>
Campaigns Manager</p>
