It's not just that it prolongs that clinging to anti-feature systems by the content industry. EME kills the webs future by a simple insidious mechanism. the CDM (content decryption module) needs to provide the raw bytes to the browser so that the browser can composit the webpage with the video (layering things behind/ontop and transforming it with CSS). But if the CDM delivers the plain content to the browser to display, then the browser (or any program, like wget) could simply use the CDM to dump the plain content to disk. Since EME cannot work in this fashion, the CDM cannot be made available to Open Source/community browsers (like Firefox, Chromium, Webkit builds, Khtml etc.) In turn this means that if large web-properties (like Facebook, Youtube, Netflix, Amazon etc.) adopt DRM for one reason or another, Open Source/Community browsers will be known to users as "those browsers that don't work". You will end up with another proprietary browser monopoly web, like in the good old days of IE6. Why is it you think that Microsoft (of all companies) is pushing EME along at a frentic pace as if their life depended on it?
