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.

When sites start to require the DRM plugin to the extent that javascript is required today it will theoretically be a problem.

This tells users exactly which website to avoid. Any website that is broken without Javascript is broken by design. They let us know that we should avoid the website altogether. Any websites that use the DRM are also a way of telling users to avoid it completely.

I'm afraid the `we' in that sentence is a significant minority >>57-kun. I avoid websites that require these things because I'd rather not subject myself to the latest new javacallhandlebackpalletleveruseafterfreeclickoverrun exploit. Websites have been getting better about at least loading and displaying text without requiring javascript. But many present interfaces that require javascript to navigate. So if you need to use a website for something, or if you are searching for information, it's likely you will need to use javascript or not get very far.
