It's #GivingTuesday & we know that many charities are asking for your support on this day. We know it's a tough decision to select among so many good causes, but we hope you'll consider us in your giving plans. Here's a summary of our 2020 accomplishments: https://sfconservancy.org/supporter/

We launched a public drafting process for the DMCA Cooperation Pledge — wherein copyright holders promise to wait 30 days before issuing DMCA takedowns against legitimate FOSS projects (ala GPLv3§8¶3). All policy wonks welcome to our transparent process! https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/nov/30/dmca-pledge/

We’ve been challenged by a group of amazing individuals to raise a total of $111,029 during our annual fundraiser. Help us get there & have your donation doubled! Please renew or begin your Conservancy support today!

ICYMI: Late last week, #GitHub processed another §1201 #DMCA takedown of a #FOSS project; we made a proposal for change about how #copyright enforcement gets done in https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/nov/13/widevine-dmca-takedown/ … We hope to see this story widely discussed, as DMCA attacks continue.

I made a #Kdenlive community on Lemmy. Come join in!

Happy International Day Against DRM!

(It might be tomorrow for you, I tend to be a day ahead of the rest of the world)

You can celebrate by e.g. avoiding DRM for the entire day, here's my recommendations: https://adrian.geek.nz/movies

That'd be far from unusual for me though, so I'll probably listen to more entertainment! And maybe join the chats...

What are you doing?
