Mr Adams brought to my attention that my posting was rather unclear, so I am replying to it here as well. " Glenn, Thank you for your message. On your first concern, I do not mean that they should be in anyway excluded, I mean that they do not warrant special rules made for their sole benefit. Because something uses a great deal of bandwidth does not imply it has a greater cultural value than a work that does not. Shakespeare as an example. On your second, I only mean that as a percentage of internet content by simple count of each original work they are in the minority. As an aside, my primary concerns are that past music and past and present software content providers, have had no ethical qualms against installing harmful rootkits that open their customers devices to other harmful software. Until the "premium" content providers prove by action they will not do this, I do not trust their software and so prefer my content on my dvd player where it cannot actively or unitntentionally harm me. I also believe that open source operating systems should be supported, especially considering that a minor majority of the internet is running on them, and that most of the earths poulation cannot afford the proprietary ones. ________________________________ From: Glenn Adams <glenn@skynav.com> To: Brendan Aragorn <gloppius@yahoo.com> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 9:47 AM Subject: Re: EME On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 9:43 AM, Brendan Aragorn <gloppius@yahoo.com> wrote: I understand now more fully that the CDM requirements I suggested earlier would be highly impractical to implement, so I withdraw them.

What you are suggesting is that the Web should intentionally exclude serving premium content providers. Given the large numbers of individuals that license and use premium content, this would be antithetical to actual practice, wouldn't it? I've heard that Netflix content accounts for a significant amount of overall Internet traffic. It is something like a filled olympic swimming pool needing a five gallon bucket of water. Counting only video Youtube alone contains many times more oroiginal content than might be lost if EME is not implemented. I don't understand what this means. > >Brendan Aragorn" >
