wseltzer has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media: == "EME is not intended to be an interface to technical protection measures" == The specification should explicitly state that implementations MUST not be construed as "technological measures" or interfaces to technical protection measures in the meaning of [DMCA Section 1201](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201) or similar copyright laws in other jurisdictions. EFF has proposed an anti-anticircumvention [covenant](https://www.eff.org/pages/objection-rechartering-w3c-eme-group), by which all participants in the Working Group would agree not to bring or join suit under anticircumvention laws. Some people have objected that such a covenant would be insufficient because it could not offer protection from criminal prosecution or suit by parties outside W3C. The spec and implementations can speak more forcefully to this objection, barring legal action by including specific indication that they must not be used or treated as a "technological measure."
