But once W3C makes it part of HTML5, then anything w/o DRM support is not standards compliant. or will you show me a fully standards compliant browser that gives me this choice
I prefer to have browsers that are NOT made by corporations. Browser developers will have to choose between making a browser without DRM and not be considered HTML5 compliant, and paying tens of thousands of dollars to corporations just to get a license key to decode the DRM. Putting DRM is HTML5 as a standard locks out all but corporate made browsers. It also locks out full browser source code that you can compile for yourself and end up with a fully standards compliant browser.
Let corporations come up with that own standard for a uniform ADD ON for DRM. They already know how to do that. Open and non-open should have a clear dividing line. Doing this won't prevent having DRM protected content (install the DRM plugin and you have it) displayable. It will just give people a choice that either way leaves them with a standards compliant browser.
... HTML5 is not YET (apparently this is coming soon) a real standard. So the only users using it should be those interested in helping to test out the standard. In the mean time ALL web sites should provide a graceful degrade down to HTML4 so their site works in an HTML4-only browser as well as HTML4 can do (which DOES include video, even if most of you web programmers are too lame to understand how to do it). And you don't have to always embed the video
Where are you gonna post it to make money? Whatever site does that I won't be visiting at all, because there's too much good free stuff to bother with a pay site. And if everyone does this and posts to the pay site, it will end up costing too much and the whole idea of viewing online videos is dead other than for the big companies that have all that marketing to bring in the numbers for their big movies. And besides, if I can see it, I can rip it off, anyway, as can most others (the HDCP technology to feed it encrypted all the way to the monitor is not widely deployed for computers).
Supply and demand. There's still way too much supply.
Yeah, punch cards had this feature whereby you could randomize the order of the lines.
... NOT being distracted by Facebook and Twitter. Good thing those and the whole internet were not around back then.
And in other news: sales of mattresses are up 14%.
The normal people think in terms of the hardware and software as a single thing. They don't even know the hardware can have an alternate OS loaded. They don't even know there is an OS.
My elderly father bought his own laptop a few years ago for the purpose of sending and receiving email and sometimes surfing the web. Nothing else. But he was constantly being annoyed by all the nagware that came with it. He ask me if I could fix it. I sure did. He still doesn't know what Linux is but he uses it.
Just pay through secret Swiss bank accounts.
This is a country that bans most guns already. They need another law to look like they are doing something and distract the public from the pervasive corruption.
... since what was added was covered in the originally contracted and agreed pricing structure, already. So you can bet there will be a flurry of lawsuits against AT&T if they try to force an ETF.
The link is broken. I see naked HTML. Forbes won't let me in. Oh wait, What?
But what if someone later decides to NOT do the after step, even though the before step has already happened and its answer is in the sealed envelope?
Didn't Nikola Tesla solve this problem back in 1901? Just scale it down for home use.
