Consumers don't even care about content. They care about convienence. It trumps everything. Video on the web is convenient enough that you will be able to watch the TV show du jour through it, and if there is no DRM support in browsers it won't be DRMed. Pirates are becoming increasingly professional and Hollywood gets to decide if they will spend their legal advantage on defending incompatibility schemes or making money, unless the browsers help them out with the former. A DRM free HTML5 spec won't have any effect on you being able to watch Game of Thrones on your open source Linux browser aside from maybe giving you an opportunity to pay HBO for it.
