Hi all, Jumping the gun a little on the Gnews, but exciting to see some response from Mozilla (no doubt from community pressure like ours).

Concrete actions in response: […] we’ve also introduced the ability to remove the CDM from your copy of Firefox. We believe that these are important security and choice mechanisms that allow us to introduce this technology in a manner that lessens the negative impacts of integrating this type of black-box. We also recognize that not everybody wants DRM, so we are also offering a separate Firefox download without the CDM enabled by default for those users who would rather not have the CDM downloaded to their browser on install. Assuming those work as advertised, how does that affect our position? Is that a sufficient response from Mozilla? -- \ “A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me | `\ at kick boxing.” —Emo Philips | _o__) | Ben Finney
