> Despite our dislike of DRM, we have come to believe Firefox needs to provide a mechanism for people to watch DRM-controlled content. We will do so in a way that protects the interests of individual users as much as possible, given what the rest of the industry has already put into place. We have selected Adobe to provide the key functionality. Adobe has been doing this in Flash for some time, and Adobe has been building the necessary relationships with the content owners. We believe that Adobe is uniquely able to bring new value to the setting.
Well, no, they added DRM to Firefox. They say so as much in as many apologetic ways that they can.
But agreed. There's a spectrum between DRM-only software and DRM-capable software. Adobe is DRM-only. Firefox is DRM-capable. Whether that's good or bad, and whether they could help it, is guaranteed debate and rabbit hole we want to avoid getting into.
