DRM in HTML5 is a victory for the open Web, not a defeat
http://j.mp/15wKd16 (ars technica)
"However, it's not clear that EME does anything to exacerbate that
situation. The users of EME-companies like Netflix-are today, right
now, already streaming DRM-protected media. It's difficult to imagine
that any content distributors that are currently distributing
unprotected media are going to start using DRM merely because there's
a W3C-approved framework for doing so. The EME opponents' claim that
Flash and Silverlight are dying off has an element of technical truth,
but is also disingenuous."
