I don't care how they are restricting their users as long as they don't destroy the open web by forcing proprietary binary blobs into HTML5.
If a company wants to hassle their users with DRM then they can use Silverlight/Flash or write their own crap plugin. But keep it out of HTML5 and other supposedly open standards.
In the end Silverlight/Flash are dying and it is up to them to come up with something new. We don't have to bend over to please them by perverting the open web.
Why do they even want to copy restrict their content? You can download it from Pirate Bay anyway. When Apple stopped DRM in music their revenues increased. Because the average user doesn't care about copying. It is all about being available, affordable, and easy to use. But the content industry is not understanding that and rather interested in making the content unavailable, unaffordable, and hard to use and they sue their customers on top of that. So no keep that crap out of HTML5.
