This whole area is a little murky but I want to point out that Netflix has supported HTML5 video for a while: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742. Using EME no less (http://techblog.netflix.com/2015/12/html5-video-is-now-supported-in-firefox.html http://techblog.netflix.com/2015/12/html5-video-is-now-suppo...)
I was mostly trying to point out that the previous comment was referring to Flash and Silverlight as if they weren't fading/phased out technologies (which they are as I understood it).
As far as DRM goes, the whole thing is sticky, but I am mostly against this adoption to W3 since in its current purposed state, it seems too far counter to the open ideals of what the W3 should embody.
To clarify: I am not against DRM, I am against DRM that allows publishers to dictate consumer behavior (such as what browser can play the content) and I think EME puts too much power unrelated to DRM back in the hands of the publishers.
But I might be wrong.
