You and other pro-EME folks on this list are making that point repeatedly, but that point rests entirely upon the assumption that the W3C will work towards standardising *some* sort of DRM system. It is exactly that assumption that myself and others are trying to challenge. We are saying that DRM is inimical to several core values of the W3C, and therefore should not become a W3C standard. Put another way, the better alternative on offer is for the W3C to explicitly reject DRM. Your "no better alternative" argument reminds me of a character on the old TV show, Yes Minister, called Jim Hacker: "Something must be done. This is something. Therefore we must do it." -- Duncan Bayne ph: +61 420817082 | web: http://duncan-bayne.github.com/ | skype: duncan_bayne I usually check my mail every 24 - 48 hours.
