If DRM wasn't implemented in the form of an opaque binary blob, would the FSF still object to it? There is no freedom-destroying threat from media itself, only in how it's packaged and distributed. The problem is fundamentally one of license enforcement, although TBH I'm unsure how it can be done a way that renders everything moot and/or objectionable.
- jlgreco 13y agoIf DRM wasn't implemented in the form of an opaque binary blob but was instead implemented by the browser itself (which is not what EME would have happen), then I would build a copy of Firefox that would pretend to the server that it does DRM but would instead dump netflix streams to the disk. Well, I wouldn't, but somebody would.
