Nobody is arguing they shouldn't be able to protect their business, but the proposed changes to the HTML standard would affect every other business. Their authority to demand technological requirements of other's ends at their own property, and Netflix should have absolutely no ability to impose their business requirements on everybody else.
- jiggy2011 13y agoHow would this impose their business requirements on anybody else? If you don't use netflix you don't have to install their EME module.
- ihsw 13y agoWith this line of reasoning, why have standards at all? Why not jam every possible idea into HTML because "you don't have to use it"? My point is that the standards shouldn't be co-opted to fit every want and need that a transient entity has.
