I've said it before, and I am sure it will be as unpopular now as then: there are people here who should know better, who can see where this road leads, but they are selfish "I know DRM is bad, but I got ta have ma Netflix!".

Bad things happen because selfish people want to be spoon-fed digital junk food, and they will accept perverting the open web to achieve it.

At the point the W3C accepted eme/DRM, it was already finished as a standards org, it just didn't realise it yet.
