When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr#EndDRM#DRM

Hook up a Debian miniPC or or laptop, and watch whatever you like without anyone watching you. #TV#AndroidTV#SmartTV#Debian#privacy

DRM ruins efforts at historical preservation. If all of our media is locked up in digital streaming platforms -- which will go under eventually -- how will it be preserved for future generations? Live DRM-free instead: https://u.fsf.org/1aj#EndDRM#DRM
