Now, only one of those two (Director, not hipsters) has authority to resolve failure to reach consensus in the World Wide Web Consortium.

So you cannot blame dirty Netflix-loving hipsters alone to get TBL off the hook.

That's a bloody risky path though, but I see nothing else that might have worked. I know I personally shied away from it.

What are you talking about? Netflix boycott? Please. Why won't you address the other path, on which the Director rejected EFF's compromise?

Why did TBL reject EFF's proposal? Where's the rationale? What possible good could come of *not* protecting security researchers & fair use?

Because it would have been the XHTML 2 of legal agreements?

If Director supported EFF & rejecting members did EME elsewhere, we would be no worse off. What happened sets W3C precedent for more WebDRM.

Per my blog (https://brendaneich.com/2013/10/the-bridge-of-khazad-drm/ …), by 2013 EME was "in IE11 on Windows 8.1 w/o Silverlight. And Chrome OS has deployed EME...Apple too."

Google, Microsoft, Netflix used W3C as spec-drafting site, shipped EME ahead of RECommendation status, made it a _fait accompli_ years ago.

This confirms (1) W3C could have stood on principle & EME would have finalized spec elsewhere; (2) Director had power to support EFF's idea.

Certainly there was nothing to lose by trying.
