I, for one, welcome our Google overlords.

Well yeah, of course you can, but what are you DRMing in a web browser esp. an open source one?Valderis said:A web browser is just software, of course you can put DRM into it. You can put DRM into ANYTHING!canadamus_prime said:...what? How the fuck do you put DRM into a web browser?
Also if my permission is required then permission not granted.

At least they give us a choice, which is more then you get from anyone else.
So fuck that W3C EME bullshit, I don't need it, I'll just wait till it gets hacked like every other piece of DRM in existence.
As it says in the article (hint hint), they're adding support for a video playback DRM meant to stop people from just ripping streams off of Netflix, etc. or otherwise illegally misusing the data. This playback DRM already exists in internet explorer and chrome, and really doesn't practically negatively effect the consumer at all.canadamus_prime said:...what?

...You are aware that Internet Explorer and Google Chrome already have this type of DRM in it right? It's been in both browsers for ages now, and the article even says it. Frankly I'm surprised that FireFox didn't already have this in it's coding, as I assumed it did.Neeckin said:What have you done Firefox? You've made Internet Explorer more user friendly then you
I read the article thank you very much. However I still wasn't clear on how DRM could be integrated into a web browser.Phrozenflame500 said:As it says in the article (hint hint), they're adding support for a video playback DRM meant to stop people from just ripping streams off of Netflix, etc. or otherwise illegally misusing the data.

Yeah? Well I say they can take their DRM shove it someplace unpleasant.Valderis said:I don't know, I don't know how these idiots coked up on DRM madness think things throe. If it was up to them everything would be DRM'ed to the max and we'd have to sign EULA's for every damn button press we made in our lives. They don't care about functionality, they live in fear and are stuck in their old ways of the pre-internet era idiocy.canadamus_prime said:Well yeah, of course you can, but what are you DRMing in a web browser esp. an open source one?
Hope you don't want to use Netflix or its contemporaries, because that's what this is for.canadamus_prime said:Also if my permission is required then permission not granted.
Only always-online DRM requires you to be online. DRM can come in many forms, including stuff that never needs an internet connection.RedDeadFred said:I'm sorry but I really don't get it... Doesn't using an internet browser require you to always be online in the first place? Isn't that kind of what DRM is? I really don't get it. I use Chrome and if there's some kind of hidden DRM in that, I'm not aware. Is this actually a big deal?
It encrypts the data for streaming videos so people can't illegally download full movies from places like Netflix and Hulu. All this is doing is encrypting the data, something that Google Chrome and Internet Explorer have always been doing.bug_of_war said:Wait, so what does this DRM actually do? And what does it do with the other internet browsers?
