Subject: Please reject EME.


Dear sirs,
FSF and others have already made very valid points [1].

I am just a normal user and hardly have any technical know-how. Nor am I as forward thinking as FSF et al.

But it seems to me that DRM was a bad idea when it was removed from music media. What is the difference now? The music industry seems to be doing just fine without DRM and EME. As a follow up,
if this goes forward would it mean we will regress back to DRM in music?

I have other maybe naïve questions. But will leave them for different subject.

Kind regards,
Andrés Muñiz-Piniella
