> I think we covered that ground pretty thoroughly then, and I suspect no-one will thank us for re-visiting it. I would be super-happy is this discussion were revisited. I represent other educators, my students, and my musician colleagues. Can someone(s) please help me understand how EME will benefit the regular, but socially-minded, web user such as myself? Specifically: How will media consumers benefit from EME? How will teachers benefit from EME? And their students? How will the average musician who is self-publishing on the internet benefit from EME? Also, please explain how DRM may be implemented using EME, and how the users from the above examples might experience that DRM in their everyday web-surfing experience. I think, if you answer these questions for me, you will help me understand why this is being designed for me, my students, and my colleagues. Got to go teach some music now!
