[okfn-discuss] Keeping DRM out of HTML5

[Harry Halpin]

I am against DRM in HTML5 as a person. However, I might add that Cory
Doctorow hasn't thought things through very well.

Is it better to have DRM-supporting companies come to W3C and discuss their
ideas there, where it can be blocked by a democratic process - an objection
by the Advisory Committee members of the W3C could block Encrypted Media
Extensions, such as Apache - or FSF, OKFN, etc. if they would join W3C,
which is very cheap for non-profits.

Or would you prefer the DRM companies to go off and cook DRM for the Web up
in their own member-only, closed-door consortium?

Think about it. I would not underestimate TimBL's strategic
