The reason for implementing DRM is to kill DRM, somehow..I think this is just post-hoc justification for the bad decision of compromising their core ideals for the sake of market share.

I'm hoping this ``feature'' will be neutered in iceweasel.

Who cares? DRM doesn't even work.

I think Mozilla has successfully trolled Hollyflix into publishing hi-quality videos encrypted with the equivalent of triple ROT13. I bet it'll take less than 5 days after release for someone to completely break the DRM.

opposing DRM is not a good use of Mozilla’s resources. We’ve stood on principle before, with H.264, and it hurt us, and our ability to have impact elsewhere. A bit like cutting off the nose to spite the face.

Mozilla is essentially saying the same as Steve Jobs in 2007. And I think this will also come true on the web. Perhaps there’s a sliver of truth in the idea, suggested even by Tim Berners-Lee (the father of the web!), that DRM in HTML5 is a victory, rather than a defeat.

Stallman was right there all along and you dismissed him as some lunatic.

Was there ever something related to software freedom Stallman wasn't right about despite being ignored every time?
