A working clearkey CDM would be easy to implement, requiring no trade secrets or closed source obscurity (Usual IANAL disclaimer about IPR).

OTOH, if Netflix will target Hollywood content to it, we should only spec clearkey and not bother with other CDMs. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
