International Day Against DRM (IDAD)

This year's IDAD saw the campaign targeting Netflix and streaming services generally, and like last year we encouraged our community to -do two things: an action in protest of something we oppose, and asking -them to participate in a "constructive" way to promote freedom. Last -year, we paired our protest against Pearson with a hackathon on free -culture textbooks. This year, we encouraged our community to call -Netflix customer service and voice their opposition to DRM. Since this -action was over the phone, we can't gather precise numbers, but we -know that the Netflix call center we targeted was taken offline as a -result of the protest, due to high call volume.

The second action we asked the community to participate in was a -session on anti-DRM advocacy over BigBlueButton. We decided to do this -fairly late in the IDAD planning stage, as until the FSF35 event, we -didn't have enough experience with BigBlueButton to feel confident in -including it. However, thanks to the great response we received for -our FSF35 session, we decided to do one for IDAD as well. This was -very well-attended for something that was first announced only in a -later IDAD post. The session peaked at 54 participants from 5 -different countries, several of whom joined Zoë and Greg in the -audio/video chat to share their experiences and advice campaigning -against DRM. Due to the positive response, we even let the session -continue an hour after it was scheduled to end.

    In FY17, we celebrated the tenth anniversary of the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPL). This is the free software copyleft license that ensures the user's right to run, study, share, and modify software. In addition to being the steward of the GPL, the FSF holds copyright on much of the GNU operating system. The licensing team spent the year accepting copyright assignments from software developers and corporations, investigating GPL violations, and answering licensing questions from the community.

    We championed copylefted projects, publishing another seven installments in an ongoing series of conversations with free software developers who choose GNU licenses for their work. We also certified a record number of devices under our Respects Your Freedom certification program, which identifies devices that do as much as possible to respect user freedom.

    Along with answering hundreds of licensing questions from the public, dedicated volunteers continued to expand and improve the Free Software Directory for nearly two million annual visitors, and we made inroads with government, helping the US Department of Defense to distribute free software. We also organized volunteers to create a workaround for Web site maintainers who want to register as an agent under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) while avoiding the nonfree JavaScript the process currently requires.

    The FSF's Respects Your Freedom product certification program encourages the creation and sale of hardware that will do as much as possible to respect your freedom and privacy.

    In FY17, fifteen devices from Technoethical became RYF certified: six laptops, two docking stations, a mainboard, three WiFi USB adapters, two internal WiFI devices, and a Bluetooth USB adapter. RYF certification was also awarded to three devices from Vikings: a USB stereo sound adapter, a mainboard, and a laptop, bringing the number of RYF certified devices to twenty-seven.

    Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) is just another way to dress up DRM. The FSF and the free software community organized to oppose a proposal by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to make EME a Web standard. We called and wrote W3C president Tim Berners-Lee, asking him to keep the Web free. While we lost this battle, and EME became a Web standard, we're looking at our options for next steps. We are not giving up hope for a free Web, even if its inventor did.

    Free people, free net

    Internet freedom in the United States found itself on the national stage in 2017. Over the course of the year, Ajit Pai became chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and instigated a war against net neutrality. The FSF joined with dozens of other organizations to raise awareness and organize in support of net neutrality.

    And the team collaborates with the free software community, maintaining gnu.org with the help of volunteers, and working with interns who are advancing their skills and knowledge in working with and creating free software.

    The team introduced some new infrastructure using distributed Ceph storage and multiple KVM hosts for our new virtual machines. They started the next round of upgrades, including the implementation of a new mail server stack supporting over three thousand free software project mailing lists, and improving the LibrePlanet conference streaming setup by using Ansible to manage the laptops used for streaming, introducing new hardware, and using HUBAngl (streaming software created by an FSF intern).
