There are several technical reasons why EME is superior to the existing solutions; in particular, usability and ease of implementation are two.
However that doesn't address the fundamental problem that EME breaks the Open Web.
- Zigurd 13y agoI could sort of get "ease of implementation" but would trade that on behalf of the implementers to keep their secret bullshit out of standards. Have they got an actual case that says it's easier versus plug-in implementations that would, in real world cases, rely on libraries the content publishers agree to use?
- yk 13y agoYes, malware. EME creates a nice standard compatible way for bidirectional communication with arbitrary servers, for native code run with the privileges of the user. ( By now there is at least a security considerations section in their standard... what could possibly go wrong.)
