Re: Trust

The whole thread has reached absurd levels already Mark. I'm sitting back now and just ignoring the circular arguments that have been brought forth and answered months ago. Same cast of characters, all who appear to be operating with a confused notion of how the W3C works. 

Oh well.

I thought we were talking about standardization of features for inclusion in User Agents ?  We seem to be getting way off topic, as you note below.

Can you name the Western companies involved in building surveillance
systems that have cost Middle Eastern dissidents their lives?  Without
Googling it?

How many people know about the Wikileaks blocade by credit card
companies and Paypal?

Basically, no one (to a first approximation) gives the proverbial about
this sort of thing.  Bread and circuses, that's all the majority of
people want.

Not that I see these concerns as relevant to the question of whether the
W3C should refuse to work on DRM.
