Re: Cory Doctorow: W3C green-lights adding DRM to the Web's standards, says it's OK for your browser to say "I can't let you do that, Dave" [via Restricted Media Community Group]

Well, HTTP isn't affected by EME at all. HTTP protocol can be used to
transport any kind of information.

We can rely on FreedomHTML or create a new standard different from all the
HTML/CSS/JavaScript. The problem is that the split created by EME existence
will be permanent. We can also make a list of good and bad browsers, but
still a lot of people would remain ignorant of all this. And once EME is
available, many more companies will make profit by perpetuating the very
obsoleted business model that is poisonning the society.

Solution is either trying to do politics... and I see that path is nowadays
useless, or revolution. We are being abused on many fronts.
