undefined | Better HN

It seems odd for HN to be in favour of making technology & content marginally less accessible simply to spite people.

Perhaps there exists a class of people who wanted to implement DRM on all of their content but were just waiting for the W3s blessing but such a class will be extremely small.

Most of the DRM you see comes from mandates from big content firms, most other people could give less of a shit.

DRM'd content isn't accessible and that's the entire problem. Adding a standardized hook for DRM modules to use creates the illusion that things got accessible that previously weren't.

Try exercising your fair-use rights on those DRM'd bits for example.
