DRM, bleh.

It's sad that open source browsers and open web standards folks are doing the bidding of corporate interests. At this rate, we won't be able to own a permanent, portable "license" to a work, only rent a license locked to a particular device on a certain platform.

You might. There is a blockchain-based technology called "colored coins", and a few startups working to use it for DRM/digital ownership. It will be platform-independent.
