RE: HTML5 DRM comes to all Chrome OS devices [via Restricted Media Community Group]

It might also of be interest that this appears to be the
'Widevine' DRM component owned by none other than
'Google' who are one of the main proponents of the
EME specification.

This does not appear to be an open standard, see
http://www.widevine.com/cwip/faq.html:

"Q: When I become a CWIP, how do I integrate the Widevine client
onto new living room devices?

A: You can't. Integration of the Widevine client into OEM devices
requires a significant amount of time and effort by both the
Widevine development team, the OEM manufacture, and both
companies legal teams. A device integration is the 'root of
trust' for the Widevine product and as such must be handled by
Widevine. If there is a device you would like to see the Widevine
product on you must encourage the device manufacturer to contact
Widevine and request and integration."
