     Digital restrictions imposed by DRM endanger our citizen rights and open up a legal minefield for copyright reforms and exceptions to it. They hinder access to our digital heritage and knowledge, block citation and creativity.

     #DRM also endangers our privacy. Remember how in 2005 it was found out that the #Sony #rootkit was spying on users and was loaded onto roughly 25 million CDs and infected more than 550,000 networks in more than one hundred countries:

     Unlock your handcuffs:

     There are plenty of devices and media that preserve our freedom. You can choose to live without #DRM.

     We can buy media that we can use forever, in any format of our choice. With a little research, we can choose devices that do not lock us in.
