Well, people state all sorts of things. See font DRM claims before and after Web fonts happened (without DRM). The question is: If DRM in browsers is available for video and audio but not for captions and regulations require captions if audio is provided, will movie streaming services refuse to stream movies to browser because they couldn't apply DRM to the captions? Seems highly implausible that the answer would be "yes". In the Silverlight-based Netflix player, do the captions go through PlayReady or not? If not, there's really no issue here. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
