Please Mr. Foliot stop being rude. I'm just stating my arguments, which are of the same importance as Mr. Singer's arguments or even W3C's CEO arguments. If you don't like it, you can skip my emails. > As well, we are not here to take religion lessons from you or others either, nor are we here for political indoctrination. I haven't read any religion statement here. You either reading a different list, or you are trying to insult the people that have a different point of view than yourself. > My suggestion to you (and you are free to take it or ignore it) is to listen to what the Director of the W3C has said (EME is in scope), what the CEO of the W3C has said (bring forth another solution - there is a place for that at the W3C), what professional standards officials have said (Mr. Singer is a senior Standards engineer at Apple), and what run-of-the-mill punters such as myself have said: "Stopping" this will not stand a snowball's chance; the best you can do is provide a better alternative. My better alternative is no-DRM. It's the best alternative for users, which are the most important set of people that we should think. Far more important that Content owners. > If that is not what you are expecting to hear from a standards body, then please sir, do tell us what you expect is going to happen here? I expect EME to be rejected. A proposal about a standard on a W3C working group doesn't always has to lead to standard or a technical recommendation. We may have to accept that a proposal is just not good enough.
