Friday December 4th, 2020, is the international day against DRM, or IDAD, organized by the Free Software Foundation through its Defective by Design campaign.

The 2020 IDAD will focus on streaming services' unjust use of DRM. The Free Software Foundation calls on it's supporters to challenge themselves to go a day (or even longer!) without DRM, and to share the experience on social media with the hashtag #IDAD or #DayAgainstDRM.
