Defective By Design

While I am cognisant of the problems with Digital Rights Management, I do not countenance the unreserved support of organizations such as DBD.

International Day Against DRM — May 4, 2012

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a nonprofit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom and to defend the rights of all free software users.

I support the use of FOSS but the goals of DBD and FSF seem to project a mixed message. Most "paid" software is not OSS and has the right to be protected by DRM.
