Sam and I are saying very clearly that it is NOT appropriate to simply keep on saying that you do not like DRM or that you do not like EME.  If your messages continue along that line we will have to temporarily ban you from being able to post to public-html-media@w3.org.

Seems like you're saying unless what you have to say is another DRM proposal, don't bother. Am I reading that wrong?

The WG email lists (ie public-html@w3.org, public-html-media@w3.org, public-html-a11y@w3.org) are for technical discussions of current or future HTML5 features or specifications.

I recommend that you start by reading "plan 2014" [1] which introduced the idea of extending HTML5 via extension specifications [2].
