A community for the discussion of topics surrounding DRM, Digital Rights Management.

All media that DRM can be applied on can be discussed here, for example books, movies, music or games.

Digital rights management (DRM) is the management of legal access to digital content. Various tools or technological protection measures, such as access control technologies, can restrict the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works. DRM technologies govern the use, modification and distribution of copyrighted works (e.g. software, multimedia content) and of systems that enforce these policies within devices. DRM technologies include licensing agreements and encryption.

Thread for reporting DRM-free Amazon ebooks you find (thebrainbin.org)

There are no ways to easily know if an ebook is DRM-free there, aside from buying/claiming it, and checking in your downloads page (replace the domain for the region-specific one you want) if it mentions "Download available in additional formats" or the equivalent in a given language.

Akin to other projects to list DRM-free contents in platforms that don't make the information easily accessible, creating a list on a text document (initially on Pastebin, may change later), and this post is to report those findings.

Also the DRM state may change, so books initially either DRM-ridden or DRM-free may be different on a future check, so beware of those too.

The list: https://pastebin.com/zHftQzyQ
