I just received a message from the Free Software Foundation advising me that Mozilla has climbed in bed with Adobe Corporation and will implement digital rights management, DRM, in FireFox. Until now they had not supported DRM. They claim to take this act to preserve market share, but it would not surprise me if money changed hands as an additional encouragement.
TOR is not about DRM, but if TOR continues to use FireFox as the basis for its browser, then the nose of the DRM camel will appear under the wall of the tent. Some of us have assiduously avoided DRM, and TOR was one way to do so. Will it continue to be? The source code for FireFox is available free and so the DRM code could be striped out before making it the TOR browser. doing so, however, will require additional effort; is TOR prepared to take on this task?
