Re: [Trisquel-users] W3C bullied to push DRM into HTML5. FSF campaign failed.

This feels a bit hopeless in some respects. By all means we should push on  
but when you've got such big companies involved it seems like it won't play  
out in the favour of free software. The problem I see is that if this goes  
through it will only make it easier for users of all systems to accept it. As  
we all know it is already very hard to educate the average user of technology  
of how important it is to avoid non-free software. Usually convenience wins  
out in that battle.

One thing I find completely ignorant is use of the term "consume" in relation  
to watching videos, listening to audio or reading text. You're not  
"consuming" anything but electricity and time that is clearly not the concern  
here. This is one major indicator of the problems with the thinking behind  
all of this.
