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

or not free, it could even be a standard. But it shouldn't be part of the

I totally and definitelly agree with all this words. I don't like DRM, but
I also think an open DRM platform wouldn't be such a bad thing up to some
degree and in some limited user cases always there's an option to remove
them (like parental control), but W3C standards are (should be) so basic
and generic that DRM doesn't fit there.

Browsers are almost becoming first-degree OSes in part thanks to W3C, do
you want your OS kernel has DRM functionality? I don't.

> An adequate comparison would be a DVD that doesn't allow your DVD player
to play the DVD unless it is connected to the Internet and has cleared
authorisation using a DVD player specification standard that promotes
openness. Also, the DVD can disable the pause/mute/fast_forward/etc
functions of your DVD player and why not even be remotely controlled
entirely while playing this DVD.

It's actually happening with videogames, and in fact, I'm worried about
what would happen with my Steam games when I'll pass away... Or worst than
that, if Steam is the one that pass away and I can't be able to login again
to play my games :-/ This has happened before several times, imagine now
that it happens with all your legally adquired music, series and movies
collection, just a lot of money going to the trash in just one second...
