From @eff on the "Blue Bird"

As the things we buy increasingly exist either in digital form or as devices with software, we also find ourselves subject to onerous licensing agreements and technological restrictions. If you buy something, you should be able to truly own it. https://www.eff.org/copyrightweek-2025

@eff serious question: if you’re promoting #copyrightweek here, why encourage people to follow the action on Xwitter? We’re here and in the #opensocial web—even if I’m with you on this one, you can’t make me go back.

We continue to fight for a version of copyright that truly serves the public interest. And so, every year, EFF and a number of diverse organizations participate in #CopyrightWeek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/01/its-copyright-week-2024-join-us-fight-better-copyright-law-and-policy

@eff You might add to your instructions for folks to use a tool like the one described in this post that converts all the t.co links to full URLs: https://matthiasott.com/notes/converting-your-twitter-archive-to-markdown

In the battleground of history, archival work is cultural defense. Luckily, digital media can be quickly and cheaply duplicated and shared. #copyrightweek #twitter https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/01/save-your-twitter-account

This #CopyrightWeek, we are reminded of the importance of balanced #copyright law to both consumers and creators, which new research shows are thriving amid record growth in the entertainment and content industries:

This coming week is @EFF’s annual #CopyrightWeek, where advocates highlight the importance of balanced #copyright law to industries and innovators everywhere.

1. Too often, we see copyright enforcement tools serving as cover for silencing critics, thanks to features of copyright law that make it a legal anomaly. At EFF, we’re fighting back. #CopyrightWeek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/01/would-be-censors-and-thin-skinned-copyright-law-offers-powerful-tools
