Why don't the people with this point of view rail against proprietary fonts the way they do against video codecs? If we took the same approach to fonts then you'd only be allowed to use open source fonts and everything would look ugly. Instead we're allowed to deploy copy-protected fonts to render text nicely and no-one is unhappy. If the ultimate issue is that people want to be able to steal video content with impunity, it all makes perfect sense. If the issue is technical or has to do with software freedom, I'm unconvinced. Not being able to open my old documents because Word 2025 isn't able to read Word 2004 documents is not the same thing as not being able to archive videos of Galavant that I don't have the right to keep.
