Not inconsistent to subscribe to Netflix + object to HTML5 growing a DRM-shaped hole fillable only by closed source w/ toxic law backing it.

«I’ll give money to DRM, use Chrome, and let TBL just clean up! … Wait. What went wrong?»

So blame dirty hipsters to excuse the W3C Director from upholding bare minimum open web principles via EFF's compromise? Rather, blame both.

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.

And we're always free to revisit if a boycott actually happened! Why are W3C friendlies so sure of this outcome? Surprising!
