> Why is a standardized API worse than the existing proprietary ones? Because, as I've explained elsewhere on this thread, DRM is inimical to the stated goals of the W3C. They shouldn't be in the business of standardising DRM interfaces, they should be actively opposing DRM. > widespread protection of content rights Why do you suppose that the EME proposal will lead to that? Web DRM is already widespread. Are you suggesting that EME will lead to DRM plugins becoming available for non-mainstream OSs like Linux? There's no evidence to back you up there, and quite a bit of evidence to the contrary. > Greater safety of IP leads to greater investment. DRM does not provide that.
