But there's the rub: It *is* possible to use the open web for that content You don't need DRM for that from a technical perspective It is in fact a whole lot easier without DRM The problem ofcourse is not technical, it's with the business model of the (traditional parts of) the industry. They do *not* want that content on the open web, they want it in a walled garden, DRM is the mechanism to create those walls. As a (supposed) champion of the Open Web W3C should not be working on technology to facilitate the creation of walls. That the industry aims to stamp those walled gardens W3C-compliant and thus 'part of the Open Web' is attempt at making the term 'Open Web' meaningless -- Cheers
