The Day Against DRM
"一项由自由软件基金会发起的计划——DefectiveByDesign.org,将把10月3号设为反DRM日:‘能否挫败DRM完全取决于我们对这个问题的认识.我们采取这样直接的行动,目的就在于此.现在我们想让你们周围的人都明白DRM对我们的社会是不利的.我们应该有一个辩论的空间.难道我们要给知识和艺术套上枷锁吗?我们在迪斯尼公司里的朋友也认为,如果展开辩论的话,我们一定会赢的.’"
"DefectiveByDesign.org, a campaign by the Free Software Foundation, is making Oct 3rd a Day Against DRM: 'Defeating DRM is all about awareness. The direct actions that we have taken are all about this. Today we are asking you to let the people around you know that DRM is bad for our society. Let's create space for the debate. Do we want handcuffs and locks on art and knowledge? As our friends at Disney recognize, if there is this debate, we will have won.'"
Bayboy还援引一篇eWeek的文章说, DefectiveByDesign.org的成员将聚集到纽约和伦敦的苹果旗舰店来抗议苹果公司采用DRM技术.另一位专栏作家写道:"为纪念反DRM 日,DreamHost已经推出了一项名叫Files Forever的服务(仅供DreamHost用户在测试期间使用).这几乎是一个任何人都可以出售任何文件的iTunes音乐商店……只要文件没有 DRM.Dreamhost处理所有的支付过程,并且永久存储这些文件,另外还给通过其服务购买了文件的最终用户提供不限次数的下载.在你购买了文件后, 你甚至可以将这些文件自由地‘借’给其他人."
Bayboy
adds an article from eWeek mentioning that members of
DefectiveByDesign.org are going to descend on flagship Apple stores in
New York and London to protest the company's embrace of DRM. And
Another AC writes, "In honor of the Day Against DRM, DreamHost has
released a new service called Files Forever (for Dreamhost customers
only during beta) This seems to be basically an iTunes Music Store that
anybody can sell any sort of files through... as long as they have no
DRM. Dreamhost handles all the payment processing and stores the file
forever, offering unlimited re-downloads to end users who buy files
through the service. When somebody buys a file they're even allowed to
'loan' it to others for free!"
