I've written on a few occasions about the FSF's annual "" along with its last year, but recently the advocacy group's "Defective by Design" campaign made another move to further its cause and help buyers avoid DRM, which it refers to as "."

Specifically, it has created a new "DRM Free" label in part to help buyers of digital content steer clear of those that are sold with DRM restrictions.

'People Often Have Trouble'

"We've created this logo for suppliers to proudly advertise that their files all come unencumbered by restrictive technologies," the group wrote in a last week.

"People looking for e-books in places like Amazon often have trouble figuring out which e-books have DRM and which don't because Amazon does not advertise that information," it explained. "This label is a step toward solving that problem, making it easy for people who oppose DRM to find like-minded artists, authors, and publishers to support."
