This specification has almost no effect on whether it is more or less likely that certain videos will be playable on the software stack you refer to. If it has any affect at all, it makes it more likely that such videos *will* become available. I don't see how the EME specification will make it more likely that videos will be made available for FF/Linux. Anyone willing to sell or stream videos to customers on that tech combo has by definition figured out how easy it is to make money on video without DRM at all, and so doesn't need the EME spec. ~TJ
