If you mean using EME just for non-DRM encryption, no it doesn't make sense: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11692420 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

  From your linked comment:> If you want to use the Clear Key key system for privacy, you need to deliver the key over https I don't see anything that requires that the key be delivered over the net. I just did a test with Clear Key where the page with the video playback has a text field that the viewer pastes the key into, and that worked [1]. The scenarios I'm envisioning involve sharing videos between people that have good non-web methods of communicating, so can distribute a video's encryption key via some non-web means. End user encryption applications tend to by usability train wrecks for non-tech people (heck, they are often terrible for tech people, too...), so what I'm going for here is trying to get rid of the video viewer having to go outside their browser to deal with viewing an encrypted video. Maybe this can be done with MSE without EME, by handling the decryption in JavaScript?
