Please provide a pointer to this. 83039 2 fredandw 2013-02-12 20:20:39 +0000 The BBC have stated that only a solution that has the protection of legal sanctions would be acceptable. This would related to the CDM which implements the DRM. 83338 3 watsonm 2013-02-19 16:23:52 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > The BBC have stated that only a solution that has the protection of legal > sanctions would be acceptable.

This is a requirement of one content provider on the CDM, not on the EME specification. 83350 4 fredandw 2013-02-19 21:06:58 +0000 The EME is an interface to the CDM and its purpose is to support the CDM so I believe this makes it fair to consider the CDM when reviewing the EME. If EME is to exclude DRM covered by legal sanctions then this needs to be considered in the design. For example it needs to be explicitly noted that the UA may store the content, and operate without a content management server, and protect the UA state from being leaked. The exchange between the CDM and the web needs to be transparent in order for the UA to enforce such protections. 83740 5 adrianba 2013-02-26 17:03:11 +0000 Discussed on the telcon: http://www.w3.org/2013/02/26-html-media-minutes.html Resolved, WorksForMe The task force does not agree that EME depends on legal sanctions to successfully support playback of protected content. 83773 6 fredandw 2013-02-26 23:40:15 +0000 (In reply to comment #5) > Discussed on the telcon: > http://www.w3.org/2013/02/26-html-media-minutes.html > > Resolved, WorksForMe > The task force does not agree that EME depends on legal sanctions to > successfully support playback of protected content. The 'task force' has declared in bug 21104 that they believe the level of protection offered by the CDM is a matter for the content author. If the level of protection is lower, and for example just requires the user to use a 'save as' feature in their web browser or operating system then the only protection the content author really has is legal protection. I do not believe the decisions of the 'task force' are consistent.
