DRM gives the website owner the power to chose what user can see, and who can see it. But what are the criteria for excluding users? It could just be used to make sure, that only user who paid for something can see it, but also it could be used to exclude people with different sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, race, nationality and much more. Giving that power to developers should NEVER happen, and you should be ashamed of it! The web wasn't created for dividing and excluding people, but for connecting them. If you care about net neutrality and users' freedom, remove DRM. > > > The Internet user Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.
