But "...Western companies involved in building surveillance

This perma-thread will go nowhere - it's already Jumped The Shark.

That's true, but I don't see how it's relevant to whether DRM is
compatible with the W3Cs stated goals, or not. 

A lot of the discussion we're having seems to revolve around whether
it'd be good for artists to be paid for their creations, whether 'big
media' has a future in a world of digital copying, etc. etc.  Those are
all very worthwhile questions with important answers, but they're not
exactly on-topic.
