The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'Call for Review: Encrypted Media Extensions is W3C Proposed Recommendation' (Advisory Committee) for Opera Software AS by Simon Pieters. Regarding the "Encrypted Media Extensions" specification, the reviewer suggests changes, but supports publication as a W3C Recommendation whether or not the changes are adopted. Additional comments about the specification: Since browsers are shipping EME, it makes sense to reach Recommendation. However, in order to avoid a chilling effect of security research[1] for browsers supporting EME, we believe there should be a binding covenant that requires W3C members to limit their anti-circumvention litigation to circumstances where some unlawful activity, such as copyright infringement, has taken place. Also see [2] (paragraph 3 onward). [1] https://www.eff.org/pages/objection-rechartering-w3c-eme-group#examples [2] https://blog.whatwg.org/drm-and-web-security The reviewer's organization: - produces products addressed by this specification - expects to produce products conforming to this specification. Comments about products related to these specifications: Opera products based on Chromium support EME. Answers to this questionnaire can be set and changed at https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/eme-pr-2017/ until 2017-04-13. Regards, The Automatic WBS Mailer
