Also "anyone can consume", regardless of "their hardware, software, network infrastructure (...)" So for start that's one principle of Open Web (and W3's own mission) that EME is contradicting, since it seems that it will require users to trust binary blobs from content providers in order to be functional. Another principle that DRM contradicts is that it disregards consumer rights.
