I think this is too much freedom for EME implementors. The document should keep record of all possible uses. 93745 1 nexus 2013-09-24 19:31:46 +0000 While I personally agree that more restrictions should be placed on EME implementations, documenting *all* possible use cases is nearly impossible. There is always the possibility of a new use case appearing down the road for which EME would be a perfect fit, and there's no reason to disallow it just because we didn't foresee its usefulness today. 93759 2 mhysterio 2013-09-24 22:33:15 +0000 That is precisely what I fear. That implementors will find new ways to control the user. I think we should give them just enough control as to protect the content and no more than that. Just a little. EME is intended to protect content, not to control the user. I agree that documenting *all* possible cases is next to impossible, but we should document some. 93760 3 mhysterio 2013-09-24 22:34:28 +0000 That is precisely what I fear.

Note that this section is non-normative. 94779 5 adrianba 2013-10-15 15:24:15 +0000 Resolved -> https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/rev/88e691c3a15e
