I think you underestimate inertia. Once encrypting JS is just a checkbox in your IDE, management and lazy developers will just check it.

- epistasis 11y agoAha, so encrypted javascript is something new that I've not seen mentioned in any of these discussions! However, does EME allow encryption of javascript? I thought it was just for playback elements in <video> and <audio>? Searching a bit, I can't find evidence that executable javascript could be encrypted.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoI've seen proposals to allow EME to control access to any browser resource: images, fonts, scripts, even HTML itself. The proposals I've seen look a lot like Service Worker, but with an opaque obfuscated container running a blob.

- wmf 11y agoAFAIK DRM servers are very expensive, although maybe once EME is mature we'll see DRMaaS that will sway more content providers to use DRM.
