--- Comment #2 from Fred Andrews <fredandw@live.com> ---

It maybe that DRM is not possible where the context in which the CDM, and the
output path, execute in a software stack controlled by the user, which includes
open source software.  If the CDM output path is controlled by the user then
the output can be copied and stored.

If this is the case then the primary goal of EME, which is strong content
protection, is only applicable to proprietary operating systems which represent
only a fraction of the population of web browsers.

I believe this bug is actionable by including a discussion of this matter in
the EME specification.  This might be appropriate in qualifications of the use
cases, and in the abstract.

It also has implications for security and privacy given the absence of user
control over a DRM-CDM, all of which also warrant mention in the EME
specification.
