* Preface

I doubt any of the parties I wrote to read this, but I regret to say I
also reached out to some of the related to something else completely.
I hope I did not burn any bridges. Obviously some of the typos have
been fixed.

I seem to have updated this on 2017-02-05 and possibly also on
2017-02-28.

Tim Berners-Lee,

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
  the actual logical answer is “yes'
#+END_QUOTE

Make sure your open and close quarktation mark match.

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
  energy which has been expended on protesting EME can be re-channeled
  other things which really need it.
#+END_QUOTE

I usually argue against this one, but I still want to know your
thoughts, because no absolutes, right? Perhaps you meant curing lung
cancer?


** paragraph 2

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
  we lead the industry who developed it in the first place to form a
  simple
#+END_QUOTE

You negate this with all the hypothetical workarounds, such as set-top
bananas.

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
  easy to use way of putting encrypted content online, so that there
  will be interoperability between browsers. This makes it easier for
  web developers and also for users.
#+END_QUOTE

I still have not accepted that all internet needs to become web
(browser) based. As a developer, the last few years have involved some
of my least favourite projects due to this piglet holing. As a classic
user, I would love to see everything go emacs instead.


** paragraph 10

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
  So in summary, it is important to support EME as providing a
  relatively safe online environment in which to watch a movie,
#+END_QUOTE

You never addressed safety. Even conflating security, you meant a "safe
[sic] online environment in which to [distribute] a movie".

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
  as well as the most convenient,
#+END_QUOTE

From an archive perspective, streaming seems the worst convenient.
Optical discs or magnetic tapes probably still win this one.

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
  and one which makes it a part of the interconnected discourse of
  humanity.
#+END_QUOTE

Unless I choose not to participate in it because I spend most of my time
working for a research scientist on curing lung cancer.

Hope you had a good Kalevala Day,

I call hevonpaska.

Conforming for survival does not mean leading.

Not everything internet needs to use the web (browser).

Older does not mean traditional; there's nothing traditional about a
"set top" or console device.

There's no argument for safety, so "So in summary" paraphrases something
that maybe the author edited out?

Four is enough for now, right?
