Revision as of 20:38, 10 April 2012
Sites and services with DRM. If a site has some DRM-free things, and some DRM things, we don't list it, especially as such services almost certainly require nonfree software, for example: iTunes.
Good old Games
Good Old Games (GOG.com) is a computer game sale and distribution service which advertises that none of the games sold through the service use DRM. However, all of the games offered are non-free software, which restricts your use of them. As such, we do not recommend using this service.
PNY movie promotional offer
HTTP://www1.movie-promo.com/PNY-US
This site is a tie-in offer with PNY storage products, such as USB Flash Drives and SD Cards. According to the FAQ the Voucher/Redemption Codes are packaged inside select PNY products. Also from the FAQs is this answer:
Unfortunately no, the DRM content is only supported by Windows Media Player (PC users) and the PNY Movie Player (Mac users).
We recommend you avoid this web site, and do not purchase PNY products that advertise this offer.

Bioware (Electronic Arts)
Bioware's game Dragon Age:Origins requires a DRM authorization check in order to play the single-player version of the game. When the DRM authorization servers are down (as they were in April 2011) users are completely incapable of playing the game they have purchased. We recommend not purchasing software from Bioware or Electronic Arts.
