> Creating some form of standard around the use of DRM is the lesser of two evils when compared to the use of a multitude of proprietary decoders.

I have nothing against the media and proprietary software companies getting together to make a DRM standard. It would have precisely zero impact on my life, since I already avoid all forms of DRM.

I don't see what that has to do with Web standards though, since their goals are completely incompatible. EME shouldn't exist.

For now. If this spreads to being able to DRM images and text, or they use it on YouTube/whatever other video site, you will be affected. That's the real danger to my eyes.
