Will Google Oppose DRM On HTML5 Video?

An anonymous reader let us know that "Mozilla has committed to not implement DRM in Firefox for WebM HTML5 video even though it is theoretically possible. Microsoft has asked Google and the WebM community several other questions that still have not been answered, but this one seems more important: will Google commit to keeping WebM in Chrome DRM-free? Does our community think that is important for the open web and free software?"

    I have some suggestions - but none of them are publishable. Children aren't supposed to hear language like that, if we believe the censorship people.

    If you're confused by the three emoticons at the end of his sentence, how do you suggest that one indicates that a sentence or a section is a joke?

    Use the Blink tag. Overkill, it's the only way to be sure.

    what name would you recommend to replace Digital Restrictions Management?

    That's easy:

    Content Restrictions Against Playability

    or CRAP, for short.
