It's not untrue. As Mark Watson has admitted, the CDMs that Netflix *actually expects to be able to use* are closed-source and/or royalty-encumbered. I expect other video distributors to be similar. Unless you have evidence that a sufficiently large marketshare of video distributors are actually planning to use an open-source royalty-free CDM like ClearKey, we must treat the CDM section of the spec as being poisonous. ~TJReceived on Monday, 5 March 2012 18:28:16 UTC
