> Sorry, but as someone who spent nearly a decade founding and building a premium content VOD service, and 6 of those years fighting fiercely against DRM and making great content available without DRM, I have both the knowledge and moral authority to say that you're living in a fantasy world. .... EME is a ideological compromise, sure, but it's a net benefit to the open web
If you need DRM, nobody is forcing you to create a solution based on a open-platform. Go make a OS and platform-specific app instead.
I mean... That's what EME makes browsers and web-sites into anyway. You now have so called "web-sites" where your OS and platform has to be "supported".
And then you might as well make a native app. Like Netflix does. Like Spotify does. Like everyone does.
We don't need DRM in our open standard.
