For this year's #DayAgainstDRM (or night against DRM!), take the challenge to go without DRM'd media for the next 24 hours. If you need ideas for where to find DRM-free media, the Guide to DRM-Free Living is here for you: https://defectivebydesign.org/guide

Epic's boneheaded decision to leave users in the lurch (https://u.fsf.org/3vm) is exactly why we need events like the #DayAgainstDRM. Allow users to run their own servers, make modifications, and keep the fun going for years to come -- don't lock them out with DRM!

Join us tomorrow for the #DayAgainstDRM! Celebrate the #FreedomtoShare we have with DRM-free, shareable media by lending it to a friend, and using it as an occasion to start a conversation about DRM. Write us with the results! <https://dayagainstdrm.org>
