Wouldn't DRM be also "about Youtube" and any other web video streaming site (including Facebook?) as soon as it standardized -- practically preventing you to do anything you can do now except watching?

If you believe DRM wouldn't be used, please present your arguments why it wouldn't.
If DRM capability becomes ubiquitous, Youtube might become DRMed, but that's on a longer time horizon.
