Re: [Trisquel-users] DRM to make it into HTML5 standard?

[tegskywalker]

The way I also think about it is this: if someone is determined to steal your  
video whether it is HTML5 video or through Flash and knows how to look into  
source code and monitor traffic through developer tools or other means, they  
will probably steal it directly. There is also the fallback on torrents if  
browser based downloading is too much of a hassle. If the Flash video isn't  
using a MP4 file directly but has a FLV file, nothing is stopping that  
advanced user from converting to whatever format they like through ffmpeg or  
free converter tools.

For the rest of the people who just want to watch videos and don't know how  
to dig into source code to steal something or seriously do not want to, then  
standard non-DRM video is fine. Heck, we had this in the past when sites  
utilized Quicktime or Windows Media browser plugins that simply linked to a  
file on the server. HTML5 video is essentially the same thing but with the  
benefit of not needing 3rd party plugins.
