Third parties, namely Flash and Silverlight, already plug in their own DRM systems via NSAPI. How is this worse?

- trunnell 14y agoOops, I meant NPAPI (not NSAPI).
- darklajid 14y agoDepends. What Flash and Silverlight do is just as bad => This proposal isn't worse. But Flash and Silverlight are dead or dying and were never public specifications we cared about. What I consider 'worse' here in this proposal is that we'd kind of 'bless' the DRM layer in HTML. I fear a comment like "Hey, it's part of HTML 5 so it has to be good, right?" if nonsense like this is added.
- Natsu 14y agoWe don't want to make it easier to add DRM. The more painful it is, the better.
