I get that this is an unpopular topic, but that won't make it go away.  I offer
as proof that this is an important issue the following:

(which talks about DRM using AES:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard - also used by Apple
I believe to supply DRM in H.264 encoded content)

I have very little stick in this topic, but I can also see and hear where this
*is* an issue for content owners and creators. If we want <video> to become
ubiquitous, we need to ensure that DRM can be supported.  The following 2 URLs
