HardOCP checked out the W3C Abandons Consensus, Standardizes DRM with 58.4% Support

A quote from the article:
The World Wide Web Consortium has gone ahead with a DRM standard that conflicts with accessibility, security research, archiving, and competition: it's called EME, and it allows DRM-protected content published online to be decoded by web browsers without the need for plugins thanks to loading content decryption modules. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has tendered their resignation from the W3C, as their objections fell on deaf ears.
