The EFF is right for resigning. There's no reason for EFF to be part of a supposed standardization group that is ignoring complaints, especially for a recommendation for a technology that puts freedoms at risk.
And to put salt on injury, the W3C is claiming that they couldn't reach consensus on a covenant regarding anti-circumvention regulations, however they are now making this recommendation without consensus, which seems to me to be disingenuous.
The W3C is clearly and has always been a charade.
And people won't forget that easily, just like we haven't forgotten the days when they were holding the web back. So if they were worried about becoming irrelevant by not adopting DRM, well, they just became irrelevant regardless. Might as well admit that the standards are made by two or three companies which control the market and stop this circus.
