Re: Formal objection to Encrypted Media Extensions progressing to Proposed Recommendation without greater user protection

I'd like to apologize for the tone of my last email. I hope you understand
that this matter is of importance for developers and end-users alike. I
believe I fill the latter category, and as such I might not be self-aware
of how to keep it polite and at the same time bring your attention to an
issue that troubles me (as end-user). EME is... something that I don't
want. I know it's your (hard) work making it true. I don't want to
undermine or be disrespectful with it. But I need to express that I don't
want it. "Why?"... let's see:

Developers (as Ruben) are able to bring a technical argument, and I feel to
support him for (the argument itself, plus) the significance that I put in
it (again, as end-user). That extra value it's difficult to point out, it's
about openness and liberty to access content. And such content isn't just
movies or anything, it's the ideas in them. Of course that open-access will
still exist, but it's "independence" is going extinct as the WWW develops
(Now, how's that happening?). I know, this is a bold argument to simply
point it out like that, the problem is that pointing out the evidences for
this is... *attacking* corporations. Simply put, the evidence starts with
noticing that most of our access (to content and ideas) is behind these
corporations, and their filters.

I don't want to live in a bubble.

I know, you won't see the relation between this and EME.

That's the REAL problem.

W3C: Keep up the good work, but please, bear in mind the implications of
developing such (anti-)features as DRM. Even though you don't think of them
as a problem, be respectful with those who feel it's a problem.

I'd like to own the content I buy. And, with that content lie ideas that
I'd like being able to share with anyone! I believe there lies the
opportunity of constructing a better WWW (and world). On this last point,
I'd like to expand my argument with this tale: "The right to read"
<https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html> I hope you enjoy it
as much as I did :)

Thanks everyone for reading my email and being open to discussion.
