I think that the founder and Director of the W3C has pretty much answered that question. You and others might not like the answer, but it *has* been answered - EME and the business goals of protecting Premium Content are in scope. 

Continuing to state that it is "inimical to the W3Cs mission & goals" repeatedly doesn't seem to be changing the answer any. Do you have anything new to add, or will you just continue proving to us that you like writing "inimical"?

Sure, I understand that.  The question of whether or not movie companies
can do without DRM is an important and interesting one.

My point was that it's completely orthogonal to the question of whether
DRM is inimical to the W3Cs mission & goals.
