A world without DRM
#IDAD
September 18, 2018
RSVP to IDAD 2018! [1]
DRM is an epidemic spreading across the Web, infiltrating our homes, classrooms, workplaces, and just about everywhere else we go. Tools, technologies, books, games, movies, and music are coming to us locked down with DRM -- whether they are streaming or claim to be locally hosted.
For 12 years, we've celebrated IDAD -- making, organizing, protesting, and taking action to support the demolition of DRM -- and 2018 is no different! This year we will continue the fight against DRM and celebrate the work of activists, artists, and technologists who create DRM-free media and technology. You can read more [2] about past IDADs online [3].
For IDAD 2018, we want to demonstrate how great life without DRM can be -- and how pervasive DRM is. Join the Defective by Design [4] coalition this Tuesday, September 18th as we go a day without using DRM.
Join us and challenge yourself and those around you to a Day Without DRM. [5]
How to participate:
IDAD 2018 is your opportunity to tell others why you resist DRM, and convince them to join you.
Whether you're an expert at being DRM-free or you've never considered what a day without DRM could look like, we want you to participate this IDAD. By joining with others on the same day, we send a powerful message: DRM's days are numbered.
Before September 18th, we'll be publishing a guide to help you plan your Day Without DRM. It will help you identify some less (and more) well-known places you may encounter DRM, better choices you can make throughout the day, and options for games, music, and other media to enjoy.
We'll be using the hashtag #IDAD.
Keep up with IDAD! All future updates will go to our DRM Elimination Crew mailing list. Sign up for the mailing list [6] to receive important IDAD news.
