"While books that come on audio CDs don't have DRM embedded in them, files downloaded from Audible or other for-pay sources often do. Audiobookshelf won't play books with DRM, which means you need a method of stripping that DRM out.

Unfortunately, here's where we run into a problem: removing DRM from your audiobooks is not universally legal. "In the US, the law against 'circumventing' effective DRM has no personal-use exemption. In Europe, it varies by country," explained the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Competition and IP Litigation Director Mitch Stoltz when Ars reached out for advice. "That's as silly as it sounds—stripping DRM from one’s own copy of an audiobook in order to listen to it privately through different software doesn’t threaten the author or publisher, except that it makes it harder for them to charge you twice for the same audiobook. It’s another example of how anti-circumvention laws interfere with consumers’ rights of ownership over the things they buy."

And that means you're kind of on your own for this step. Should you live in a jurisdiction where DRM removal from audiobooks for personal use is legal—which includes some but not all European countries—then sites like this one can assist in the process; for the rest of us, the only advice I can give is to simply proceed in a legal manner and use DRM-free audiobooks to start with."

France’s European affairs minister, Benjamin Haddad, said on Wednesday that the EU could “go further” in its response to the US tariffs: “If it came to a situation where we had to go further, digital services or intellectual property could be included,” he said. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m #trade #tariffs #IP #TRIPS #WTO #ecommerce #digitalservices

In the latest issue of the Intellectual Property Forum, Dr Olugbenga A Olatunji has written a generous review of our Edward Elgar Publishing collection on intellectual property and the sustainable development goals edited by Bita Amani Caroline B Ncube and myself - 'An in-depth exposition of the 17 sustainable development goals (“SDGs”) adopted in 2015 through the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 (“UN SDA”). Across 25 chapters, seasoned intellectual property scholars appraise the stage of implementation of these SDGs with particular emphasis on the cataclysmic role that IP plays in slowing down implementation.' #IP #SDGs #development #sustainabledevelopment lnkd.in/g--Zpqz4

"Flock Safety loves to crow about the thousands of local law enforcement agencies around the United States that have adopted its avian-themed automated license plate readers (ALPRs). But when a privacy activist launched a website to map out the exact locations of these pole-mounted devices, the company tried to clip his wings.

The company sent DeFlock.me and its creator Will Freeman a cease-and-desist letter, claiming that the project dilutes its trademark. Suffice it to say, and to lean into ornithological wordplay, the letter is birdcage liner.

Representing Freeman, EFF sent Flock Safety a letter rejecting the demand, pointing out that the grassroots project is well within its First Amendment rights."

"…thanks to internal memos published during last year's #monopoly trial against #Google, we know what they did. They made #search worse. They reduced the system's accuracy it so you had to search twice or more to get to the answer, thus doubling the number of queries, and doubling the number of #ads.

Meanwhile, Google entered into a secret, illegal collusive arrangement with #Facebook, codenamed #JediBlue, to rig the ad market, fixing prices so advertisers paid more and publishers got less." @pluralistic
