And if it's to their advantage, so be it. The aim here is not to get movie companies to abandon DRM, or discover a way of making million-dollar movies on a shoestring budget. Likewise, it's not to ensure that movie companies continue making a profit, or that I can legally watch Futurama on my Linux laptop. The aim is to prevent the W3C compromising its values, and harming the open web, by accepting DRM. -- Duncan Bayne ph: +61 420817082 | web: http://duncan-bayne.github.com/ | skype: duncan_bayne I usually check my mail every 24 - 48 hours.
