Tell W3C: We do not want the hollyweb

Hollywood is at it again. Its latest ploy to take over the Web? Use its influence at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to weave Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) into HTML5 — in other words, into the very fabric of the Web. Millions of Internet users came together to defeat SOPA/PIPA, but now Big Media moguls are going through non-governmental channels to try to sneak digital restrictions into every interaction we have online. Giants like Netflix, Google, Microsoft, and the BBC are all rallying behind this disastrous proposal, which flies in the face of the W3C's mission to "lead the World Wide Web to its full potential."

Unfortunately too many people are willing to sacrifice because of the "but I just wanted it" factor.

Takes all sorts to make a galaxy but I tend to stick to principles no matter how inconvenient, no matter how much I want it. I would gladly give up and not support something I really want if they violate certain principles I stand for.

I have a long list of things I would really like but will not compromise the principle. :smilie:
