While that's true at the moment, I had hoped that the web being such a big market, it would entice content producers to deploy without DRM for fear of losing market share to other content providers who do.

But with the introduction of DRM into the standard, this is no longer possible.

There are still plenty of providers who don't use DRM.

You just want the DRM users content but you want it without DRM.

So what really happened is the content producers enticed the users into DRM with their content. It's the other way around, and the consumers voted with their wallet (and clicks)

How did it make it into the standard?

And why would anyone follow this standard?
