There's a lot of important discussion happening at and around < http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/04/netflix-coming-to-html5-just-as-soon-as-the-drm-ducks-are-in-a-row/ > It'd be great if some of you could post comments highlighting the problems with the EME proposal, encouraging people to sign the petition at <http://defectivebydesign.org/no-drm-in-html5> (and share those comments back with this list). The EFF article is a great one to link to for explaining the problems. <http://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/1106> is another oldie but goodie that helps explain why DRM is a problem even for streaming rather than purchases. This is one of the main things we need to address -- that DRM is no more okay for "streaming" services than it is for downloads that you "own." -john -- John Sullivan | Executive Director, Free Software Foundation GPG Key: 61A0963B | http://status.fsf.org/johns | http://fsf.org/blogs/RSS Do you use free software?
