[Bug 20967] EME does not allow independent implementation, excluding open source implementations.

--- Comment #11 from David Dorwin <ddorwin@google.com> ---
The current state of affairs is far from final and one should not jump to
conclusions. (Imagine making such a final assessment of HTML5 based on the
first implementations.)

Chrome has started rolling out CDMs on various platforms, including
Chromebooks, with more to come. Likewise, the CDM team is rolling out support
for platforms and content providers, starting with a small number, with broader
availability to come.

Regarding compatibility, the public already has most everything it needs to
serve protected content to Chromebooks. HTML5, the EME APIs, and the container
formats and encryption are already well-defined and publicly available; any
server can be used to serve the player application and media streams; and the
CDM is being deployed with Chrome. The only thing missing is a license server
and/or specification, which, as I said above, is being rolled out.
