Blame the content producers who insist that distributors 'protect' their content with DRM. Distributors aren't going to leave that money on the floor.

- syshum 10y agoWhy not blame both, as both are to blame. W3C is more to blame that all of them, as they have violated their mission statement with EME and DRM
- yrro 10y agoI guess I just don't see the harm. If EME standardization did not take place at W3C, I think it would take place at another standards organization, or privately between content distributors and browser developers. Either way, it still happens and nothing is materially different.
- syshum 10y agoIf I go to a site that is "HTML5 Compatible" I should not have to worry if my "HTML5 Browser" has all the proper binary blobs and approvals to support the content. If something is standard complaint it should work for all platforms that support the standard not just the Billion dollar corporations that paid to get their technology included into the standard
