Microsoft Removes Free Software From GitHub Again, This Time for Motion Picture Association (MPA)
Recent: [Meme] DRM Loves Wintel/Microsoft/Centralisation/Monopoly
Summary: GitHub is proving to be more of a censorship site than a code-sharing site; with the GitHub takeover Microsoft became a ‘censorship police’ or force of occupation against its ideological competition; just weeks after the YouTube-DL debacle and further take-downs seeking to ‘protect’ broken DRM schemes (by banning code) we can see that Microsoft isn’t defending developers at all; it’s just protecting the interests of MPA, RIAA and other Biden circles from the interests of the general population, which sometimes circumvents perfectly circumventable ‘DRM’ schemes
“DRM is the future.”
–Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO
“DRM is nearly always the result of a conspiracy of companies to restrict the technology available to the public. Such conspiracy should be a crime, and the executives responsible for it should be sentenced to prison.”
–Richard Stallman
