It’s because this is a new implementation incorporated directly into HTML 5, isn’t it? And we’d like Mozilla to take a stand and declare that their browser simply will not be compatible with sites that employ that DRM?
I can understand that. Really. I’ve taken a few positions on principle myself. I’m sure this has been hashed out elsewhere but aren’t we asking Mozilla to martyr themselves for this? Doesn’t rejecting this standard mean it’s likely a whole bunch of popular services available on the internet won’t work in Firefox? Do you really think there are enough principled users who will respect their stand to keep them afloat?
