We will not kill it (the same way the RF policy didn't kill patents)
BUT what I want is a system which creates more business opportunities for the infrastructure:

1. rights language at the HTML level (with JS API to access those)
   [know what is the content, who is the content owner, how to reach]

2. non destructive watermarking technologies for all contents.
   [traceability of the content]

3. micro web payment system in the browser.
   [enabling business, and frictionless call to action]


On the other hand if the proponent of DRMs persist, encourage browser implementers to have low level APIs so people can create a "Record" button for the DRMed piece.
