GOG, Weightless Books and Bandcamp immediately spring to mind.

      Sounds like you've got a decent list of companies where you can purchase DRM free media, do you have one released publicly somewhere?

        ... No. I've been meaning to start a website. This article rather resonated with me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30328120 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30328120

        Please do start one! If you're open to the idea of it being on a pubnix, I run one at http://marvilde.cc http://marvilde.cc, and would be happy to get you set up. Or Linode/Hetzner are pretty cheap, I don't have experience with other VPS providers.

    GOG sells a handful of DRM free movies, mostly gaming related.

I'm able to watch programs on PBS.org and the BBC iPlayer without Encrypted Media Extensions. Also The Late Show with Steven Colbert on CBS.com and Seth Myers on NBC. There are probably lots of others, I don't watch very much television.

  iPlayer is regionlocked i think
  - Wowfunhappy 5y ago
    It is indeed, but it still doesn't use Encrypted Media Extensions.

    To me there is a world of difference between refusing to send me files based on where you think I am and requiring me to run your code on my computer to ensure that I don't do something that you don't like with the files you sent me.
