Many content owners have chosen to release their high-value content without DRM; you're assuming that will be true for all providers, for all time. Also, whether or not the W3C endorses EME is moot; browser implementors are building it now (and, note, hooking it to hardware-implemented DRM - the very antithesis of the open web). > If we could keep our principles pure and the high-value content > web-accessible, we'd all be happy; but we don't currently see how to do > that. Could you please define 'web-accessible'? My understanding is that existing implementations of EME are used to restrict content to devices with specific operating systems and in some cases hardware decryption. I genuinely fail to understand how you see that EME is a win for web accessible content here. -- Duncan Bayne ph: +61 420817082 | web: http://duncan-bayne.github.com/ | skype: duncan_bayne I usually check my mail every 24 - 48 hours.
