Let&#x27;s get something straight here. This EME debacle was never a choice between DRM and no DRM, it was a choice between <i>DRM in a consistent standard</i> vs <i>DRM with a thousand ad-hoc plugins</i>.<p>The browser without EME will be pilloried by its users for not supporting the content they want to access. Users use a browser to access content, not to support philosophical positions on what software should and shouldn&#x27;t do.<p>The lesser of two evils was chosen. You don&#x27;t have to like it, but that&#x27;s the reality of this situation. It is <i>not realistic</i> to suggest that the largest browser vendors not support user demanded content.<p>Speaking of philosophical positions, most DRMed content accessed by a user in a browser is going to be of the streaming variety, i.e. something that DRM isn&#x27;t preventing you from doing something you&#x27;re otherwise not supposed to be doing anyways.
