RE: W3C HTML Fork without Digital Restriction Management

A solution is to keep the DRM player out of the web.  Users can still use an Internet connected player to meet their needs and the principles of the web do not need to be compromised which many of us believe would be better for the user.  This still promotes the use of DRM players, but a least we can separate them from the use of general purpose computers.

The proponents have refused to define their requirements.   They certainly have not defined "the facilities they need to take their service to the next level".
