Re: Please, reject the EME proposal

Hi,

It is always a surprise for me to see people with a so high level of
education to spend their knowledge and their life to be so cynic in the
only objective to feel important and, probably to grab more money.

Paul, dear W3C CEO, other W3C members, you easily could fill you heart with
pride, because you have got "a little power". Of course you can use your
power as you like, but, as you are educate, remember at your last minute,
you will judge yourself with this kind of questions "What did i do of my
life ?" "What does my kids will present my life to thier kids ?"

Of course, you can laugh at me and my disastrous english. Of course you can
be ironic and explain we don't understand "the rules" to use our voiceto
claim No. But at the end, who is going to participate to lock internet ?
Regarding your intelligence, you education and what you are going to do
with, what will be the look on your action in 200 years ? Building HTML5 is
not a little job for sure. It could give to Humanity a new way to share, to
involve, to grow knoledge, education, health, economy, understanding
climate... But it also can be a "wonderful" trojan horse for the old-school
industry to lock internet for a little while their business. Don't you
beleive it is expensive ? I mean really, not in public, in your mind. How
do you feel regarding democracy to concentrate so much power in so little
number of hands ?

So may, it is not the good way to say this, but yes, i'm against DRM and i
feel really very bad to imaginable it into the most used communication
protocol on Internet.

May we are idiot but as a French expression say "Everybody knew it was
impossible. An idiot who didn't know came, and did it!". Please at least
consider us.

Your sincerly,
Michael
