As part of the International Day against DRM (“digital handcuffs”), on May 3th, 2016, April is republishing a video on the issue of e-books and DRM.

This day of protest is an opportunity to remember how dangerous these digital handcuffs are for free software users and developers alike, and how far they go toward restraining legitimate uses of works.

The e-book landscape has not changed much since last year, and the video we released a year ago today, to bring attention to the issue of DRM and e-books, is still very relevant, so we are republishing it, to mark the International Day against DRM.

DRM greatly reduces readers' rights, and is what makes an e-book different from a printed book in terms of user freedom. With a DRM-free e-book, the user has essentially the same rights as with printed books (the ability to lend them, to read them as many times as s/he wishes, anywhere, and on any device, etc.), while with a DRM-locked e-book, the user has but limited rights. Please view, share, and re-share this video, in support of computing freedom, and to help us continue to raise public awareness of the restrictions' insidious attacks on computer users' freedom.

And don't even try to fix a wobbly table with your e-book.

The video is in French with English sub-titles. Sub-titles : French, and English (SRT format).
