Proposal for HTML video copy protection standard endorsed by Netflix
draws criticism from reps of Google & Mozilla

http://j.mp/xDU1xa  (ars technica)

   "In a discussion on the W3C HTML mailing list, critics questioned
    whether the proposed framework would really provide the level of
    security demanded by content providers. Mozilla asked for
    clarification from the authors about whether it would be possible to
    implement the proposal in an open source Web browser. Google's Ian
    Hickson, the WHATWG HTML specification editor, called the Encrypted
    Media proposal "unethical" and said that it wouldn't even fulfill the
    necessary technical requirements."
