DRM in HTML5 is a victory for the open Web, not a defeat

http://j.mp/15wKd16  (ars technica)

   "However, it's not clear that EME does anything to exacerbate that
    situation. The users of EME-companies like Netflix-are today, right
    now, already streaming DRM-protected media. It's difficult to imagine
    that any content distributors that are currently distributing
    unprotected media are going to start using DRM merely because there's
    a W3C-approved framework for doing so.  The EME opponents' claim that
    Flash and Silverlight are dying off has an element of technical truth,
    but is also disingenuous."

Probably overall the most sensible article on this topic I've seen 
so far.
