Just my own personal opinion here, so please ignore if you don't agree.... Seriously FF devs, you guys need to do something about acceleration. Often times I have no choice but to stream to mplayer. I mean shit even just xv acceleration, which -all- video cards on linux can do, can playback 480p at less than 10% cpu load on a slow dual core, but firefox plays back the same file at 70% load and noticeable slips and lags in framerate
Really? You mean to tell me that FF devs can't implement a local video player? Well, to that I say, mplayer, xine, gstreamer, etc, etc..... Premade choices abound, make one.

It is a measure designed to keep control among the big players, it was always meant to be a step backwards for consumers, software developers and service providers.
Which made it so infuriating that the W3C accepted it as an official recommendation.

When was this added?
The original specification only covered the JavaScript API, not any detail on how a browser is supposed to implement it.
My understanding is that the EME spec is so high level that it doesn't specify if the CDM is even a separate entity, it could be a component inside the browser itselt.

Please note, "boycott" means "you DON'T watch/use their shit" not "you steal their shit like there is no tomorrow".
Boycott is not a synonim of stealing and is 100% legal, stealing is stealing and is a bad thing to do while also illegal.

If we are going to play word games, can we please replace "stealing" with "unauthorized copying" as that is what it is.
And the relationship between piracy and lost sales is too murky to call all piracy stealing. For example, I could argue that productivity software piracy is beneficial as it gets more people familiar with given productivity software, and they end up buying it or the places they end up working buy it. Network effects outweigh the lost sales. And piracy of movies/songs is not necessary lost sale either as if the product cost money, it might have been considered too expensive by said person and it would not have been bought anyway. And so on and so forth.
And even if it's stealing in some cases, maybe it's stealing from major corporations that have screwed up public domain and public cultural heritage by bribing the government and endlessly extending copyright length. So I say fuck them. Movies released >20 years ago and songs released >10 years ago should be public domain anyway.
I don't like pirating products developed by smaller shops or individual authors though. But my point is- this is not black and white.
