Mozilla's Route For Implementing W3C EME (HTML5 DRM)

Andreas Gal of Mozilla has written about the Firefox path they've been on for implementing the W3C Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) for supporting protected (DRM'ed) video playback via the HTML5 video element. The W3C EME utilizes a Content Decryption Module (CDM) and the W3C standard deals with the JavaScriot APIs to access the CDM, while the CDM itself is a binary blob. The Content Decryption Module cannot be open-source and Mozilla selected Adobe to supply them with their CDM.
