W3C is considering drm in the html standard

The html standard might support for copy protection. The World Wide Web Consortium preview or a drm framework in the standard must be included. The framework is developed by Google and Microsoft.

Via a mailing list to a member of the W3C, the html-standard controls, indicates that the html working group of the W3C is about the so-called eme specification will bow. The proposed eme-framework provides no copy protection, but provides web sites with the help of an api, the ability to use a form of drm to implement.

Google, Microsoft and Netflix have the first version of the eme specification in February of 2012, the W3C proposed. Only now is it clear that the W3C, the specification is considering. That is not to say that the specification ultimately, the html standard will kick. “This is not a statement of support to the specification”, so writes the agent in the mailing.

At this moment, websites that drm want to use, like Netflix and the web version of Spotify, relying on browser plug-ins. Including Flash and Silverlight offer support for drm. The technique is used to prevent users to copy information and is used mainly for copyright-protected content. The technique is today mainly applied to streams, but some games, e-bookwinkels and music services to use the technique also.
