Couldn't we just keep using JPEG without enabling any DRM features? Is there an actual practical issue with JPEG that theoretically supports DRM, or is this more of a stand on principles?
- atom_enger 11y agoIt's mostly a stand on principles. I don't have any reason to believe that there's anything wrong with JPEG in it's current form. I commend the EFF for representing the internet at large but I want to remind the hacker community that we can do something about it if we don't like the outcome.

Some will call it undemocratic and thus bad, but I say it sometimes is the only way to restore sanity. To quote one of my favourite lines of Nick Fury, "I recognize that the Council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid ass decision, I have elected to ignore it."
