Hi All,
This stopped my letter writing for today: "A new Web standard proposal authored by Google, Microsoft, and Netflix seeks to bring copy protection mechanisms to the Web. The Encrypted Media Extensions draft defines a framework for enabling the playback of protected media content in the Web browser. The proposal is controversial and has raised concern among some parties that are participating in the standards process." http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/02/unethical-html-video-copy-protection-proposal-criticized-by-standards-stakeholders.ars
Several key actors seem to be against it, but I think that the FSFE should also issue a clear statement against this.
yes, I think so.
Can anyone here start work on an assessment? Martin, could you create a public Etherpad on etherpad.fsfe.org for work on this, and post the link here?
EtherPad opened here: http://etherpad.fsfe.org/hzacDY4ImV
