Re: Is EME usable regardless of the software/hardware I use ?

Dear Jeff,

I would like to get your response to my argument in my previous email --
that the purpose of EME is to deny a user access to data and therefore
this goes against the fundamental mission of EME. I would also like to
emphasize that I believe this argument I have made is distinct from
other arguments that have been made (for example, in my argument, EME is
not analogous to proprietary media formats, since in the case of
proprietary formats, a user is provided access to the data itself). And
lastly, one of the reasons I think it would be most useful to address
the meaning of "access" in this context, is because if my argument
holds,then we could rely upon existing policy (i.e,. the mission
statement of the W3C) and we wouldn't need to create new policy with
regard to freedom or openness.
