I certainly didn't mean to imply anything like this; I'm just pointing out that many companies make the business choice of not exposing their sources (for whatever reasons), and that such a choice is not really available to e.g. pure client-side Web apps. > Frankly, although the lack of code protection capabilities of the > platform might actually be an deterrent for a small subset of players > with clueless management, solving that problem would be very complex, > highly controversial (that's EME for ALL WEB CONTENT) and would only > cater for the needs of a very small minority.

I'm not interested in building code protection for client-side apps either; but I think we need to approach the problem (and its likely mostly education-based solutions) with a bit more care than qualifying those that have it of clueless :) Dom
