He seems to forget that the world is not the US, an important notion when considering the future of the internet. I think a good analogy would be medicines; the US has their own rules but then each country has different rules. India for instance can copy any medicine they see fit to save lives because health is more important for them than money.

You might argue that entertainment is not the same as health; but don't forget that one big part of DRM is in education, which is a big deal. If we make EME easy to use all Copyright abusers can and will - if history repeats - use it. Things like Sci-Hub exist for this very reason. Arguing in favor of denying education to an important fraction of the poorer world for the economic gain of few US companies is something that I think is worth fighting against.

We are at a point where even Copyright abusers should start working online or become irrelevant so many are migrating; let's not give them the tools to keep abusing their users.
