Please take this discussion to a more appropriate forum such as http://www.w3.org/community/restrictedmedia/ /paulc HTML WG co-chair Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (425) 705-9596 Fax: (425) 936-7329 From: Brendan Aragorn [mailto:gloppius@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 12:51 AM To: public-html-media@w3.org Subject: EME Having noticed concerns from the free software community, it seems mandatory to an open web that the API must mandate that all CDMs be unconditionally cross-platform. By this I mean that in order to ensure that those who chose to use the "premium content providers" products must be able to on any Operating system with aworking HTML5 Browser. In simpler terms the CDMs must be mandated as OS/Browser independent. This allows the CDMs to be proprietary, while forceing any group using them to offer their content to all internet users, as is already mandated by current W3C standards. The APIs will be written so that no platform specific CDM will function. Brendan Aragorn
