Thanks for posting about this!
Remember DMCA is a US law and does not apply outside the USA
Ok, but to be clear, you're not claiming it's necessarily legal in the U.S. or in other jurisdictions with similar anticircumvention laws (as in, other WIPO treaty member countries), correct?
Updated the second and third paragraphs:
Original
Sources will be divided into categories based on content types available, and so a same source may appear in multiple categories. And if a category becomes too overarching, please suggest how to better divide!
Also some cases of DRM are blurrier. Some may consider DRM-free as simply not requiring validation, while watermarks and other means of tracking the owner if the files are leaked may be seen as DRM to others. When I know about such cases, I will include the source in the list but with a note about the potential DRM measure.

Yet to check:
- SomaFM (I forgor)
- Bandwagon (can't figure out how to access the dummy purchase I made to test)
- Funkwhale (too tired after Bandwagon)
Removed:
- Nigel Stanford's store: No longer offering purchase options, only redirecting to other stores.
Updated:
- Red Candle Games: Added the mention "only OSTs for the games they developed"
Added to "Music":

I’m a total Sonic the Hedgehog fan much like everyone else.
But DRMs just won't cut it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your contributions :)
Can be pinned =)
Hey, sorry. I've been abroad for a while and haven't had time to check in. Thanks for this updated list. Do you want me to pin this list, or do you prefer me to update the current one?
Tested Bladed Fury and The Almost Gone. Former worked fine after testing for some minutes, and latter didn't work. Adding Bladed Fury in the next few minutes.
Some examples come to mind:
There's an aptly named "DRM" folder within each single PS Vita cartridge. Also, dumping any games in the console, including physical ones, requires launching it at least once so a plugin can generate a dummy license validator, but that means the game needs to be validated first (account/internet not required for cartridges but the technology is already halfway there).
Blurays need to be validated with keys that are constantly monitored, updated and when leaks are identified, revoked.
Windows Live.
Physical discs of Final Fantasy XI on the PS2 and Final Fantasy XIV on the PS3. Both have data in them, but good luck accessing them.
While physical can be a good starting point with the current state of right of ownership, physical doesn't mean DRM-free, right to repair, owning, etc., so beware of taking it for granted.
Thanks for the heads up! Will now be buying different platform or physical from now on!
What kind of idiot would spend money on this shit?
Oh wow, blast from the past. I was annoyed when the game was abandoned because it had so much potential. I played alternatives instead like Gnomoria. But yeah, that'd be cool if this game can continue development in some way.
Ah my first and only lesson about steam greenlight.
Oh to be young again.
Moved Gumroad to Misc as it has more contents than just ebooks.
Asked Safipok too, but would you say that for it, adding something like "usually DRM-free, and even if not, usually licenses allow forking as DRM-free"?
Don't miss the games on F-Droid!
Yes and somehow that list is updated too. Maybe they use some extreme DDOS protection with very low speeds per client.
Idk I don't own it
The hassle of trying to get VUK strings for libbluray is 90% of the reason I switched to using MakeMKV's external integrations in my workflow. Still, an easy to access list like this would have saved me HOURS when I was just starting to rip my disks to populate my media server.
If this is going the way of Google Stadia, how's the controller itself?
Ironically, I've found the Google Stadia to have the best D-pad of any controller I've ever used hands down. Too bad its battery life sucks.
