Andreas, A Content Decryption Module implementing the 'clearkey' keysystem can be implemented as Open Source. This serves as an existence proof, at least. Whether any given content provider believes any given keysystem implementation meets their needs is up to them. We are not proposing to standardize any Content Decryption Module except clearkey, just as HTML does not mandate any video codec and for similar reasons. So the specification as proposed can be implemented in Open Source just as well as the rest of the Media Element. ...Mark Sent from my iPhone On Feb 25, 2012, at 8:03 AM, "Andreas Kuckartz" <A.Kuckartz@ping.de> wrote: > I am more interested in protecting users than content and therefore > agree with Ian. > > But I have a question.
