To rephrase Archer, "Do you want the DOJ to be involved in the creation of (global) web standards through antitrust lawsuits? Because that's how you get the DOJ involved in the creation of web standards through antitrust lawsuits."
- DanielDent 11y agoI'm not sure there would be market harm from this outcome, which would be required for the DoJ to intervene. Content creators would remain free to license their content using their own technologies. Apple has successfully shut down people that created implementations compatible with Apple's DRM. To be clear, these people were not breaking Apple's DRM. They were "protecting content" using DRM that was iTunes/iPod compatible, and Apple shut that down.
