And if it's to their advantage, so be it.  The aim here is not to get
movie companies to abandon DRM, or discover a way of making
million-dollar movies on a shoestring budget.  Likewise, it's not to
ensure that movie companies continue making a profit, or that I can
legally watch Futurama on my Linux laptop.

The aim is to prevent the W3C compromising its values, and harming the
open web, by accepting DRM.
