My main fear is that now that Mozilla implements a way to work with DRM, it would be more common for sites to use it since every browser supports it, instead of exploring other ways as watermarking.
Probably it was me, but the article wording was too complex and didn't summarize what Boris wrote: * Not shipping it by default (the CDM module). * Requiring explicit user content before downloading the CDM. * Insisting on a CDM that is sandboxed so it can't do things that we don't allow it to do: no phoning home, no persistent user tracking, etc. * Working to make it possible for others to support the functionality while still compiling their own Firefox. Builds provided by Linux distributions are the obvious target here. Press is going to write about "Mozilla implementing DRM" which based of what I've learnt from your responses is not accurate, since right now we are allowing DRM via plugins.
