Copio y pego el texto de una campaña en contra del DRM en HTML5.

> Dear ,
> 
> Today Defective by Design, through the Free Software Foundation,
> joined twenty-six other organizations in releasing a joint letter to
> the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the Web's standards-setting body,
> condemning Encrypted Media Extensions (EME). EME is a proposal to
> incorporate support for [Digital Restrictions
> Management](http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm) (DRM) into
> HTML, the core language of the Web.
> 
> Please join the FSF and our allies in stopping EME and keeping DRM out
> of HTML by [signing](http://www.defectivebydesign.org/no-drm-in-html5)
> the petition that goes along with the sign-on letter! Our goal is to
> reach 50,000 signatures by May 3rd, the [International Day Against 
> DRM](http://www.dayagainstdrm.org),
> at which point we'll hand-deliver them to the W3C.
> 
> The coalition opposing EME includes the FSF and its sister
> organizations FSF Europe, Latin America, and India; the Electronic
> Frontier Foundation; Creative Commons; Fight for the Future; Open
> Knowledge Foundation; Free Culture Foundation; April; Open Technology
> Institute; and several chapters of the Pirate Party. It's uplifting to
> see that so many influential organizations are ready to stand with us
> against this threat to freedom on the Web.
> 
> In the letter (full text
> [here](http://www.defectivebydesign.org/sign-on-against-drm-in-html)),
> we point out that "DRM restricts the public's freedom, even beyond
> what overzealous copyright law requires," and warn that for the W3C,
> "ratifying EME would be an abdication of responsibility; it would harm
> interoperability, enshrine nonfree software in W3C standards and
> perpetuate oppressive business models. It would fly in the face of the
> principles that the W3C cites as key to its mission and it would cause
> an array of serious problems for the billions of people who use the
> Web."
> 
> EME is sponsored by a handful of powerful companies who are W3C
> members, like Microsoft, Google, and Netflix. These companies have
> been promoting DRM both for their own reasons and as part of their
> close relationships to major media companies.
> 
> FSF executive director, John Sullivan, said, "Building DRM hooks into
> HTML is another attempt by Hollywood and its friends to gain control
> over our home and mobile computers in order to restrict the way we use
> media on the Web. DRM turns these companies into gatekeepers capable
> of filtering and controlling not just movies and music but also
> educational materials -- anything digital. The FSF and its partners
> won't allow these companies to sneak this change into the Web's core
> language. We want the World Wide Web, not the Hollyweb."
> 
> A group of organizations coming together makes a powerful statement,
> but to be truly influential, we need to build public support. Nobody
> *really* wants DRM in HTML if they don't have to have it. Here's what
> you can do to help:
> 
>  * If you haven't already, [sign our
>  petition](http://www.defectivebydesign.org/no-drm-in-html5)
>  against Encrypted Media Extensions.
