Re: I strongly urge all supporters to reconsider the EME proposal. It is not in your best interests!

On an interview, Steve Jobs told he didn't wanted DRM on iTunes so everyone
could share the music files the same way it was done with Napster (the real
inspiration for iTunes Store) and that the single reason they had to put it
was because it was a mandatory requirement of discographic industry or they
wouldn't allow to distribute their music.

Once again, it's not a technological issue, it's a political and bussiness
model issue, and W3C members (myself too) shouldn't be wasting time
thinking about it. I start to think that design was moved from mayors to
W3C so they wouldn't need to think and waste time working on another again
condenm to failure DRM technology so W3C could do their job by free, and
also give it an halo of standarization and "good thing for the people"
spice...
