Defective by Design<p>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.

Tim Mason<p>Big mistake yesterday. Someone recommended Sarah Painter, but I couldn't find her books on Ebooks. I don't want to use Amazon any more, and I've been reading non-DRM books on iBooks. (When DRM, Ebooks forces you to use Adobe, which I hate). So I bought Ms Painter's books - they're pretty good - through Apple. Which locks you into the Apàple universe as tightly as Amazon locks you into Amazon. Double plus ungood.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DRM</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a></p>

obrhoff<p>Looks like the Switch 2 will be dominated by their “Game Key Card”. I guess it’s probably the last generation that we will see physical games anymore.</p><p>I wonder what implications that system will have. Will they blacklist game cards because someone rents them out, or is an online connection required to retrieve a DRM license?</p><p>Happy DRM world.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Switch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Switch2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/drm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>videogames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nintendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nintendo</span></a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/gematsu.com/post/3lniuq7ix4k25" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bsky.app/profile/gematsu.com/p</span><span class="invisible">ost/3lniuq7ix4k25</span></a></p>

Simon Phipps<p>One of my significant fears about the EU Cyber Resilience Act is that it could be abused by vendors to force DRM-like limitations into consumer products, as Synology is regrettably attempting. <a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/04/synology-could-bring-certified-drive-requirements-to-more-nas-devices/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">4/synology-could-bring-certified-drive-requirements-to-more-nas-devices/</span></a></p><p>One of my goals in engaging strongly over the CRA and especially its standards is to ensure that they are written to prevent this, as far as possible.
